| MOTD 24/Sep/2003 : Comment 20 of 38 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by MarkTime on 25-Sep-2003 01:20 GMT | In reply to Comment 15 (Anonymous):
when people discuss 'trolls' it's because they don't have anything else to talk about.
the fact is, when someone hears something they don't agree with, 'trolling' is the knee jerk accuasation that comes flying out.
If anyone wants to discuss free speech topics in-depth, I'd be glad too. The fact is, I am not one who cries 'CENSORSHIP' though I will call censorship, censorship...thats just the correct word to use, sometimes...sorry if you don't like it.
But nevertheless, I fully support censorship at private websites like this one, private property is more important than free speech,...well I shouldn't say important, just more fundamental... without private property you'll never have free speech anyway.
But I do deride people who just say, I want to get rid of the rudeness....
as a matter of fact, I think that being rude is usually a mistake, but
there is a problem in trying to rid yourself of it.
The reason is, some ideas are inherently offensive. Free speech is only really
about 'political' speech which has nothing to do with ann anyway.
I mean you could say its more than political speech, but the highest level
of protection goes to political speech, in most countries.
The reason rudeness has to be protected, in terms of political speech, is because it is inherently offensive to go against society and the establishment.
To go against an idea, that has been built up by 2,000 years of Christian
tradition, for example, is going to be offensive. It will seem rude, maybe
even sacriligious to some. But thats how change comes about. Ideas are
thought of, they are advocated, and eventually they take hold.
Now you go back to ann.lu, which is a news site for amiga like related things.
This is never going to amount to what we consider the highest level of protected speech.
I'm a realist. I don't cry censorship. Certainly I haven't even witnessed
anything close to censorship, and even if I had, I wouldn't be against
the right of Christian to do it.
But what I will do, is call all these nancy drew's who get upset when someone
says that Amiga, Inc. isn't all they purport themselves to be, and think
the world is ending and full of hatred and trolls....well, I'll say to them
they out to think about growing some thicker skin. |
