Big Brother permeates this 9/11 truth forum

[David WJ Sherlock]

When are we going to stop this censorship on the forum. There is to much erosion of free speech in the outside world. Lets take Fred and his fake CNN videos. I think the guy is completely off the mark. But he has the right to express his views. I did not agree with the "Baby Rape" nonsense he said about John White. If I were John, I would have thrown him out. But if anyone has any alternative theories, they should have a right to voice them. Now come on everybody. Surely that is how we should run this forum. I think NPT's are off the mark. But I defend their right to air their views, and leave it open for debate. Mods. Leave the debate to the posters. Drop the Big Brother act.

If this call for free speech means allowing anybody to post anything, anywhere, any time - then absolutely not. A forum is no different to a public meeting, you cannot allow abuse, nor can you allow people to spam the forum with repetitive threads.

I say don't feed the trolls. They in the words of John Stewart are 'huuurting us'

I don't like the idea of people curious about 911 coming to this site and being turned off future investigation, participation and campaigning. That's what'll happen if you open the doors of nonsense. Keep them closed mods!

Mr Sherlock,
You appear most dis-informed. People may post ANY THEORY THEY LIKE on this forum as long as its vaguely about 9.11 related issues.

We set up a whole forum sub-catgegory for 9.11 controversies SPECIFICALLY so people can have a part of the forum to talk about controvercial theories with no fear of being censored or banned.

The only way you get censored or banned here is by being reguarly abusive or posting obvious rubbish like threads with "nikole kidmans boobs" as the title.

You should count your lucky stars the mods here are as open as they are. I went to a big STUDENT forum two days ago, posted details of the science talk on 9.11 in London and was BANNED PERMANENTLY within 50 minuites. I had been a member there for 6 months.

You try going to the Mark Thomas forum with no-planes!... be pepared for a verbal homicide.

There is no mad censoring here and you should be glad of it. The reason 99% of the people who complain are NPT is that for reasons best known to themselves a minority of them insist on being very abusive and worse. You want to see some of the PM`s I`ve got from some?

Not pretty. But with one exception they are still here. (the one that isnt told me I was going to be murdered on two occasions).

So all in all. I dont see what you can possibly have to moan about.

At this point, I'd like to offer the information that all the mods have had pm's from David over the last few days, with him putting forward his view that we are "Truth Censors". And hes been given answers to his questions

Unsatisfied with that, David then started this thread yesterday. I've left it be in the confidence that the members here will give David their own views, which I believe in the majority support how the site is run

david, i totally agree i made a statement a while back and though it was by some people thought to be not what they thought it was binned by admin, i thought the point was to say what you thought or knew but i must of been wrong. as some one higher up decides what is to be allowed and what is not.
smacks of big brother to me, and dont think they can't do it just look and make your own mind up.

1) Fred, to the best of my knowledge is not banned: Ian is giving him a chance

2) Some members who support NPT have been banned: but that is not why they are banned. They are banned for their poor behaviour: same as members who support "planes" have been banned, same as critics have been banned: bad behaviour everytime. Views are irrelevant

If people choose not to believe that, thats not my problem: nonetheless, as far as I'm concerned thats the truth

[marky 54]

i didnt think fred was banned?

he has been abusive to those who disagree but as far as i was aware he was still posting here. his last post or maybe near last post was back to the likeable fred, no accusation, insult or anything.

if he was banned then i have no idea why unless he went back to insulting again?.

[Snowygrouch]

This is all nonsence,
Nobody EVER gets their views censored unless they REALLY REALLY ask for it with bad behavior & or threats and insults.

There is an entire section on this site where you may post and debate ANYTHING 9/11 related!!!!

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM????

Actually there is no censorship at all David (if that is your real name).

But there are rules for users who 'piss in the pot'.

And a solid bunch of moderators who appreciate that some material should go centre stage and other material back stage if the campaign is to have any credibility with the press and the public

Some users disagree with that but it is our policy to allow discussion of anything that's not racist here.

But some people will always want more.

Which is why I've just moved this topic to critics corner where it rightly belongs

[Stefan]

Fred hasn't been banned, I'd also note that there has been a marked improvement in his civility and tone over the last couple of days, which I for one am glad of, so clearly Ian's policy of giving him a chance is paying off.

Miss A was banned, but considering 8 of her first 9 posts on the forum included personal attacks and insults, she was a lost cause.
