Isnt this the same as that guy who posted on here trying to do research for a vegetarianism debate? He signed up despite it being clearly stated that this is a forum for veggies or people seriously considering being veggie ONLY. Just saying... Des |

I was doing my own thing quietly and YOU are the one who created this post trying to make a big deal out of it. Keep flaming the fire. That must be what you want. |

| Gita | Some forums don't like overly political (or preachy) posts. They find them inflammatory. I guess they all have rules. |

| seanmillion | Christians typically are willingly ignorant ... even if you don't come on so strongly, merely posing questions they cant answer will get you kicked out :P |

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to say what you want, how you want, whenever you want. Similarly with internet forums... some of your opinions may be considered inappropriate for a particular forum (advocating animal abuse on VB, for example). You're still perfectly free to go voice your opinion on another forum, or even start up a forum of your own. Your freedom of speech has not been restricted. |

| jeneticallymodified | if you'd said the opposite here, you'd have got banned for it too. |

I got banned at a popular homesteading forum for saying the following, in summary: Quote:
- The industrialization of our livestock industries is wrong, unhealthy, cruel and inhumane.
- Large corporations are primarly responsible for the mistreatment and abuse. - We are charged by the Bible to care for our animals in practical ways. - Based on these views, I don't greive when I hear of another slaughter house closing down, infact I rejoice.  It saddens me that people want to be willingly ignorant, and simply don't care. They are in it for themselves, for that paycheck no matter what unethical thing they must do.
