The AB mods have been acting weird lately, they recently decided to edit, alter, censor, and plagarize a question I posted other than simply rejecting it like they normally do. Never the less it pissed me off on to an unprecidented degree to the likes I have never been so pissed off before at someone's blatant ignorant and unjustified audacity. They must think this is just going to go away and be forgotten....In the great words of Bugs Bunny...They don't know me very well do they? Have a look for yourself. Posted November 12th, 2006. HOW DARE YOU EDIT MY SUBMITED QUESTION!!! I AM GREATLY DISMAYED AND APPALLED AT THE AB ADMINISTRATION FOR THE ACTION OF CENSORING MY SUBMITTED Q AND A. STABLE BOY IS RIGHT, WHEN YOU CHANGE (EDIT/CENSOR) MY QUESTION, YOU CHANGE THE ANSWER. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT AB WAS A PUBLIC FORUM OF FREE SPEECH. APPARENTLY I WAS WRONG IN THAT UNDERSTANDING... AND IT IS MY HOPE TO BE CORRECTED SWIFTLY. IF YOU DONT LIKE THE Q AND A THAT I SUBMIT FOR ALL THE FREE PEOPLE'S OF THE WORLD TO GAZE UPON, THEN SIMPLY REJECT IT AS YOU DO WITH MOST OF MY QUESTIONS, DO NOT EDIT OR CENSOR IT, UNJUSTLY, THAT IS OFFENSIVE AND AN UTTER DISPLAY OF B.S. I DO NOT CONDONE YOU DISTORTING OR CENSORING MY WORDS OR INHIBITING MY COMMUNICATION TO THE FREE WORLD.... AND PLAGARISM... THAT MY FRIENDS IS THE MOST COWARDLY UN-AMERICAN MOST UNACCEPTABLE ACTION YOU COULD EVER POSSIBLY DO. I UNDERSTAND AB HAS IT'S POLICY'S FOR CONTENT, BUT, IF AB SUPPORTS THE NEW WORLD ORDER AND WISHES TO ABIDE BY IT'S RULE OF **"POLITICAL CORRECTNESS"** THAT IS THE SUBSERVIANT PATH *YOU* CHOOSE TO TAKE. BUT BY NO MEANS SHOULD YOU EVER ASSUME TO TAKE IT UPON YOURSELVES, TO DRAG MY GOOD NAME THROUGH THE MUD WITH YOU WITHOUT A FIGHT. I SIR AM AN AMERICAN, AND UNDER THIS CONSTITUTION DECLARE MY SOVERIEGN RIGHT NOT TO BE SILENCED OR CENSORED THROUGH ANY MEDIUM WHATSOEVER UPTO AND INCLUDING PLAGARISM. IF YOU DO IT AGAIN, IT WILL FORCE MY HAND TO INFORM THE ENTIRE INTERNET ABOUT YOUR CENSORSHIP TACTICS AND THAT AB HAS JOINED THE CRUSADE TO INHIBIT AND CENSOR THE PEOPLES SOVREIGN RIGHT TO PRACTICE THE INALIENABLE GIFT OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH AS STATED IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT. (MAKE NO MISTAKE, I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE TO WHICH IT REFERS) IM ON ENOUGH FORUMS TO INFORM THE PEOPLE... AND I WILL HOLD AB ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PLAGARISM BY POSTING THIS DISPLAY YOU ARE READING NOW, AS A WARNING TO THE WORLD THAT FREE SPEECH ON THE INTERNET IS ENTERING PERIL, AND ANSWERBAG.COM IS HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN TO THAT ABYSS. AND DO NOT RESPOND TO ME LIKE IM STUPID, THERE ARE MANY OTHER QUESTIONS MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE WORTHY OF REJECTION, EDITING AND DELETING THAN MINE... BUT NONE OF THEM IS WORTHY OF THE INSULT OF PLAGARISM. AS FOR COPY EDITING, I FIND THE EDIT DISPICABLE. I AM WILLING TO ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGIES AT ANY TIME NOW FOR YOUR ERROR... YOU HAVE MY EMAIL ADDRESS. BELOW IS MY ORIGINAL QUESTION. "Do you have a psychological MINDSET barrier? In other words are you quick to dismiss or do you have a mental block against conspiracy theorys, Katrina relief, Iraq war, 9/11 etc. ? If so why?" BELOW IS THE AB CENSORSHIP EDIT. "Are you quick to dismiss conspiracy theories? If so, why?" JUSTIFICATION; My Q is justified, a psychological mindset barrier is a psychological terminology to the theory of the MINDSET, and a compelling Q for those to respond to who may or may not understand the terminology. The Q poses as to discuss openly psychological blocks pertaining to the peoples psychological responsiveness of government action to severe catastrophies and I stand by this justification for the Q I have posed to the people. Your action of editing the Q, is AB's direct response to keep the populus of the internet dumbed down, and I am sure to speak on their behalf, that they will disaprove of such tactics. Here is the link to the terminology in Q. http://en.wikipedia.org/.../Mindset Thank you Stableboy for your response. I would appreciate everyones support on this matter because it affects us all. If you have been censored OR plagerized by AB by all means let me know. sunblynd@yahoo.com The First Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. LET US NOT FORGET THE WISDOM FROM FREEDOM FIGHTERS BEFORE US. . "What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist." Salman RUSHDIE Indian-born British novelist (1947-) "The essential support and encouragement comes from within, arising out of the mad notion that your society needs to know what only you can tell it." John UPDIKE American author and poet (1932- ) "We have a natural right to make use of our pens as of our tongue, at our peril, risk and hazard." Francois Marie Arouet VOLTAIRE Dictionnaire Philosophique, 1764 French philosopher and writer (1694-1778) "The Freedoms of Speech and Press are the necessary Conditions for the Enlightenment of Human Life, which again is the only Thing, that can save Peoples and Nations, and Experience teaches, that where these Freedoms exist, one will find comfort from much other Burdensomeness and Unpleasantness; but where it is not, and in particular where one feels deprived from it, the People either descends to the Beast or cut up rough like the Wild Animals, and in both Cases it is indeed the End to Human Life."- Niels Frederik Severin GRUNDTVIG Danish social reformer and educationist, 1845 (1773-1872) "Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one?s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power. Thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, founded in injustice and wrong, are sure to tremble, if men are allowed to reason? There can be on right of speech where any man?[is] compelled to suppress his honest sentiments. Equally clear is the right to hear. To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker." Frederick DOUGLASS In famous plea for free speech in Boston 1860 American abolitionist, author, orator (1817-1895) "Freedom of expression is the matrix, the indispensable condition, of nearly every other form of freedom." Benjamin Nathan CARDOZO American jurist (1870?1938) "To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves." Claude Adrien HELVÉTIUS French philosopher (1715?71) "Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful... Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and entombs the hope of the race." Charles BRADLAUGH British social reformer (1833-1891) comments; Boob- Why you on my ass Boob?, you have to dog me down by X'ing me out for ranting? You are a drunken master at taking such cheap shots, I expected better, (psst...not really) but in your case I guess we have to take what we can get. Your one of those sheeple Bob, because if you were in my position, instead of responding like a man you would roll over like a wimpy sissy sucking your thumb, quick to surrendering your free will, while AB edits your simpleton Q&A and changes your diaper and makes up your own thoughts for you, you become more and more, to retarded, to communicate on your own to those of us who supercede you in veiwpoint and perception. So why don't you be a good little boy Boob, and stuff your comment up your ass, and go drive your forklift off a short peir,...okay?... and let us grown ups alone so we can salvage what little rights we have left... before sheeple like you blindly handover the head of freedom to AB and others, on a silver phucking platter. Salient- Thanks for your comment, I agree they should reject it, and not do me the favor of correcting it themselves. They are wrong to do so, to me, or anybody for that matter. Since AB is obviously standing by their decision to alter your words for content, until they respond to my protest, I urge you all to monitor their actions carefully as they do ours. REMEMBER AB is owned by corporate media; Answerbag was founded in July, 2003, by Joel Downs. The Staff members are "AB-Joel", "AB-Rich" (Rich Gazan), Yobie Benjamin, AB-CrazyToon (Sunny Walia), "AB-Jon" (Jonathan Haddad), Jillian Wallis, Sarah Dilling. In the first months of 2006, Answerbag was acquired by Infosearch. However, on October 3, 2006, Answerbag's management announced that they would part ways with Infosearch Media and join forces with Demand Media, a next-generation media company that has several content sites.- wikipedia.com About Demand MediaTM As traditional media companies are trying to grasp the power of online communities and user-generated content, Demand MediaTM remains a step ahead as it works at lightning speed to redefine this space (that's an understatement). Demand Media's executive team has a vision for the future of new media (not yours), and a proven track record for delivering on it's vision (meaning they are good at censorship). At the core of the company's unique approach (?) is the combination of domain services, brand-able domains and niche content web sites. Founded in May of this year, Demand Media is privately held and is based in Santa Monica, CA, with offices in San Francisco and Seattle, WA. View our Executive Bios page; http://www.demandmedia.com... This big ass corporate conglomorate internet company owns the content of AB, meaning they have the power to alter my Q&A. I find it offensive that they do this, as they apply a profit margin to AB members charitable contribution to the AB collective as a whole. MEANING DEMAND MEDIA WANTS TO EDIT, CENSOR, AND PLAGARIZE YOUR SUBMITTED CONTENT TO THEIR OWN LIKEING TO FIT THEIR OWN IDEAL OF EXCEPTABLE CONTENT FOR YOU TO VIEW. THIS GIVES THEM THE POWER TO KEEP PEOPLE LIKE BOOB DUMBED DOWN... AND SILENCES PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO WANT TO HELP LIFT THE FOG OFF YOUR EYES. I HAVE SUBMITTED MY EVIDENCE ABOVE, AND I STAND BY EVERYTHING I STATED HEREIN.
