I registered just to ask this question:
What was the warning? Where is it? Why is there censorship going on so heavy handily on this site now?
What is the POINT of the first amendment? Everywhere we converse is some terrible place like this ruled by people we barely have any contact with. REMIND ANYONE OF ANYTHING?
it was sent out via private message to all members... it's not so much censorship as it is the rules of the people who host this forum .. nobody forces you to come here, nobody forces you to post.. you choose to, and by joining these forums you are agreeing to the rules of those who provide it .. the hosts .. those people who allow this for no charge.. you can go anywhere you like...
Thanks for your apologist post explaining private(READ: ALL) sites on the internet, that all censor you, and have little accountability for doing so.

Keep in mind.. we're ultimately guests here... they host this, they pay for it .. we're just visitors..
keep in mind without us
there would be nothing
Regardless, it's their house ... and it's their rules.. there are other forums with less restrictions that people can go to ..
That's a great point and reenforces what I'm thinking about there being literally no forum/discussion area on the internet where someone else isn't stamping on your speech. The owners of this site should explain themselves more, given their audience. Totally ridiculous and atrocious, enjoy more coast to coast shows guys you're getting money and famous now.
Believe it or not I host my own forum similar to this.. but I cannot and will not disclose what it is out of respect for ATS .. it's got no traffic anyway .. but it's there.. I personally don't care what people post as long as it's not illegal. But that is the name of the game.. we come here, we sign on and we agree to abide by the rules of our gracious hosts... we don't have to agree with them, but if we slip we have to pay the consequences.. this isn't the constitution here, this is a privately run forum ...

Again you are right, but it doesn't matter . The constitution is NOWHERE on the internet and it's currently the ONLY place people are conversing. I look forward to more 404'd threads and terrible coast to coast interviews with shill George Noory.
We are so done guys, jesus.

The guy who "just registered" does bring up a good point. Nancy lanza being a victim could be a part of a conspiracy, or a victim TO the conspiracy, however if we cant even mention her name, or any other name, how would we go about speculation of any kind?

Seriously how ironic is it that on this site people constantly laud the first amendment and then express 99% to 100% of their fringe opinions on sites where the first amendment doesn't even exist? Anyone?
Alternatives?

The nancy comment was just an example. I was just trying to point out if we cant mention any names then it IS censorship.

well it seems you are very happy to just bend over and spread
but most people would rather speak whats on there mind in a public forum
isnt that the point ..everyone has a say no matter what they say
dont censor just because they dont like whats being said
