Freedom of speech only if you say what they want to hear

Yup go figure

[quote=fredjacksonsan]I wanted you to know that I moved your thread, "Unfair treatment by a moderator" out of the members' area. It is a bannable offense to bring something like that up in another thread; if you have a beef about something being done, then you should PM the moderator in question. Don't get upset that this has been done, I'm actually cutting you some slack by doing so.

As far as your username, most people won't understand the science that you say the name comes from, and will immediately think that it is what it appears to be - a misspelling of "Aw, ". So please adhere to KustMAce's request to set up a new and AF friendly username.

Please have a read of the AF rules prior to posting again. You will find a link for them in my signature.

PM me if you have any further questions.

Then please have my nic changed to WarHawk1974 and re-instate my unfair thread...

I truly believe my 2nd Amendment rights are being violated and I will find out if I can bring a lawsuit against this website...this is unfair treatment and totalianarism treatments by mod is unjust and uncalled for

I dont understand why I am being treated this way..I was called a bigot and cussed by a mod yet I never once targeted a specific individual or called anyone names (other than the scumbag rapist)

This is unfair and uncalled for..you can see my posts have been open and honest and helped, I AM NOT A TROLL...why did I get hammered for this..this is bogus and not in any way upholding the teaching of America or its Constitution

Can I only say what others "want" to hear, can I only speak my mind when it doesnt "offend" anyone, but what if I am unjustly treated and "offended" doesnt that matter, of course not..Im a conservative, the MODS are liberals and dont want to hear me so they ban me, lock my threads, kick me out...where is the justice or fairness in this

I have been treated many many times like this on other so called "open" threads...and I dont think it is fair..

This is why I am fighting so vehemently for my rights...people shouldnt be able to just crush someones sayings because they "dont agree with it"

It must be a new tactic to shutdown anyone who doesn't have the same worldview.  Last week I was talking about the pope's comments and someone got angry and started the same over reaction.  I think it is getting worse as the election is near.

Actually, that's advocating hypocrisy, not freedom of speech. Following that, you defame Mexican government (which is an opinion), and the Mexican people (which is racism). Freedom comes with responsibility to be civil, express things in a civil manner, and especially not to troll in an inflammatory manner. They haven't violated any of your rights any more than a newspaper which didn't publish a letter from you would.
They may call it a 'public' forum, but the fact that's it's being moderated means it's private.
I'm all for that 'dog' person too, but you just stepped into the wrong bar buddy.
