is because we are afraid to speak our minds. We have been brainwashed
into thinking that the absence of offensive speach is much more important
than making truthful comments. No where is this more self evident than
at a place like THR. Notice how my speech here must be very
tangential to make my points. Lest my thread get locked.
Do those on the other side of the fence make such concessions - I think
not.
We are even deplored and cut off from "normal" discourse because of the
"fear" of offending someone.
Yep, it does not look good for folks like us. We are our own worst enemy.
Just watch, this post is likely to be very short lived all because I bring this very fact up.
And to think, I have heard people "like me" preach to the leftist that one reason for "true" free speech is so that those that lie are heard far and wide so they may be rebuked. And thus the truth is spread.

PS: Yes, this board is a private place and someone else makes the rules. However, I believe the goal of THR is greatly watered down because of the low level of expression allowed in the typical post.
