Also, interesting to see a moderator banging on about freedom of speech on a moderated board.

I'm not weeping for him but good job in trying to make out them I'm some sort of sympathiser instead of trying to tackle my points head on.
The internet as a whole is unmoderated and that's how it should stay as it's the one place, whether for good or bad, allows people to truly say what they think. Of course some places have rules but it's your choice to follow them or not, if you get banned from Tibb it won't affect your real life, you could just join another forum with rules you agree with or even create your own et cetera. I adhere to the rules of this forum and enforce them because I like it here and like I mentioned before my views on free speech don't really come into play here since it's just a light hearted website that holds no impact on any of our lives.
I don't believe someone should be jailed for what this man did, as despicable as he is, what he said was just words and I don't think someone should be sent to prison unless they turn their words into criminal actions.
