If I don't subscribe to your ideology, and can force ATS to ban you, is that right?

He voiced an opinion based on the bible.



Which doesn't automatically mean it would be protected speech even in the public arena.

For example, he could have said that someone should take it into their own hands to physically destroy New York and San Francisco the way Joshua razed the cities of the Canaanites.

That would be right on the edge of what is considered protected speech; probably over the line considering the current climate.

I think where you made your mistake Beez is how you made a generalized thread title in an attempt to make a point, but then erred as soon as you took a non-generalized scenario to use as your case in point.

Duck dude did not express a generalized ideology, he crossed a line that delved into hate speech. Which takes it to a whole other dimension.

Which of course then, no longer qualified his particular scenario as a good analogy to use in your OP for the generalized point you were trying to make.


No.

He voiced an opinion based on the bible.

He voiced a personal belief. Which is rampant on this site.



No.

Duck boy voiced an opinion that created a T&C violation in A&E's rule books (talking in ATS speak now).

Therefore, A&E carries the right to ban said member under the agreement that duck boy signed on to.

A&E's ideologies are all based around micro-managing public relations for the betterment of the bottom line. GLAAD didn't "get anyone banned"... what GLAAD did succeed in doing though is bringing it to A&E's attention that if they didn't do something about it, their viewing public were going to go up in arms about it, thus killing A&E's public relations and hence, their bottom line.

You just can't compare ATS (not a massively corporate public venue) with A&E (a massively corporate public venue).

It's an illogical comparison.


Wrong.

A&E had a rep at the interview.
A&E didn't do anything after the interview.
A&E took a phone call from GLAAD.
Phil got fired after the phone call.

Who says being banned from using a privately owned website is a punishment? More like a consequence, an effect. I don't want you to slap me, so I'm not going to let you. Therefor I guess banning you from slapping me is a punishment?



So you'd be okay if I didn't agree with your ideology and had you punished.

Okay.

So I can force ATS to ban you or anyone based on a difference of ideology.



Going a bit beyond the scope of your OP:

YOU can't force ATS, A&E or probably anybody else to ban anything.

On the other hand the Hearst Corporation and Disney can ban all sorts of things from a large chunk of the media landscape or, more importantly, never allow opinions to air in the first place. So the "freedom of speech" issue as you're presenting it is to a great extent a charade. You have the right to go stand on a stool downtown and scream at the top of your lungs but under our current system you don't have the "right" to access to the tightly controlled corporate media.



My thread question. . . . .

If I don't subscribe to your ideology, and can force ATS to ban you, is that right?

Yes/No.



yes...... ATS banned me, last year I called a republican a derogatory name, and I WAS BANNED FOR 5 DAYS.....it happens on both sides....saying that it's ONLY THE LIBERAL PC CROWD over and over and over is simply a bunch of crap......that's my OPINION

Right, because A&E thought it would blow over without anybody taking notice. And, no doubt, the rep probably thought it was hilarious what this guy was saying.

The minute they realized that people were taking notice (GLAAD phoning them), they quickly jumped into "operation CYA".

I think your just venting, but not really providing any ideological context.
Ideology, is a some what of a vague term ,that could convey some horrendous notions, that not only should be band, but prosecuted.
In these types of cases you should suggest to ATS to ban a member expressing such views.

Petty squabbles over pies in the sky should be not warrant a banning.

So to answer simply, as I remain in a supposition of states.
YES and NO

No. Let me explain it in a way that a child would understand.

"You threw a rock at someone, so you can't have anymore rocks." = consequence, effect.
"You threw a rock at someone, so you can't have anymore ice cream." = punishment.

Here, I'll even give you two more:
"You threw a rock at someone, so I'm not giving you more of my rocks!" = consequence, effect.
"You threw a rock at someone, that's why they came over and hit you." = consequence, effect.
Yes, there really is a difference.

yes,.....you have the answer from me....ATS banned me for the same thing, but it had to do with calling a republican a derogatory name...I got banned...ATS has the right to do it....is that simple enough for you to understand, or do you need me to use smaller words?

ATS banned you for using a derogatory name, not because of your ideology, or should I use smaller words to explain.

no you're wrong......the words I used are perfectly acceptable on this site when used separately, I happened to put them together.... the MOD is the one that decided they were derogatory. the MOD by the way leaned right (I deduced that from reading his profile, and getting a feel for what side of the political spectrum he was on).....but, he being a MOD, has that right....and they WERE NOT CURSE WORDS.
