not so much the comment, but where it was made!!

sorry!
Almost!
Imagine boards.ie is a house and the forums are rooms in that house. Now imagine you own the house. I'm a guest in your house and I want to go to the toilet. The first room I come across is the sitting-room so I drop my kacks and take a dump on the floor.
As I'm doing so, you come into the room. Do you calmly let me continue with my rectal dump or do you throw me out of the room (forum) and clean up (lock the thread)? My guess is you throw me out of the room

That's what happened here

Fair dues to Doyler that at least he has accepted and taken on board what he did wrong and why it got locked etc. Thats better then about 99% of similar posts here. You pass, you can stay
Ahem, now there will follow a rant on behalf of the DeVore Party.
It really really grinds my gears when people scream censorship (I'm not slateing Doyler here, I mean the others) when something like Burma is going on *right now*.
We live in the fncking Shire compared to many places in the world and for people to shout "help help I'm being opressed", particularly while the monks are being rounded up and shot over there is just sickening. You have no idea how bad things could be because, while God knows I'm well aware of the problems of being a publisher here, we dine on cake every day of the week in terms of freedom of expression compared to much of the world.
We've created and managed one of the few non-big-business, non-governmental controlled/influenced platforms in the country and we take personal (and corparate) risks to do so.
Those arent the typical actions of a group hellbent on censorship, those in fact are the very opposite.
It would be ironic and laughable were it not so serious here and deadly in other places that people come here and tar us with the word we strive against. Freedom isnt anarchy, it comes with some understanding of responsibility of its use and consideration for others around you.
Here endeth the sermon.
