Don't know about you but that thread and some of the stuff some sick MFers have posted ( you know who they are) has kind of turned me of the of this  entire forum. Perhaps when it's finally zapped, that feeling will go away.

    I've been feeling the same way about many of the posts and replies here.  The sickness will not go away, it is a product of our 'free speech' society and the warped, immature, insensitive, uneducated individuals attempt to impress.

    I've been told, by some here, that if you don't like it go elsewhere. 

    Ta ta.

    That is funny right there!  The really crazy ones are actually very educated.  Immature is spot on though.

    A lot of our problems as a country really would disappear if we just got rid of free speech.

    I'd rather look at dirty fork pics than some of that stuff. There's a place for it, just not here IMHO.

    For me, I have the choice to view or not view it. Maybe it should be relocated to an off topic? I'm not a big internet surfer so as I scroll thru some of the gifs and images and laugh my arse off. So far my favorite is the guy who sets his hair on fire, has someone roast a marshmallow and as he is burning, he stops to eat the marshmallow. Now that was funny.

    People conflate free speech with lack of consequence.

    Free speech means the gov't cannot persecute you.  It does not mean you can say/show anything you want and get off scott free.  The individual is welcome to fire you, get offended, boycott etc.  It just means the gov't won't toss your dumb arse in jail.
    They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

    Au contraire mon ami. Free speech is what it is. Take it all or take nothing. In the GWN they have outlawed some forms, racial slurs, religious matters etc. It's not free after that. Dilemma...yes. Not taking a side but fact is fact

    Check out BBQbrethren.  Lots of great cooks and people.  The lunatics don't run the asylum there.  Pretty quick moderation.

    Yeah, consider white (power?) forums or more moderated places that are less diverse.   Seems like your comfort zone is narrow. The "suburbia" of forums, where ever that Shangri-la is.  I hope you find it, my intolerant friend.

    I actually liked the thread for the first few pages......then it was all down hill.   Some of it was funny at first but it got to be disturbing very quick.

    @nolaegghead you are the best devil's advocate I have ever met!  Your ability to make someone stand back and re-asses is fun to watch.  Either that or I am to empathetic.

    Thanks ozzie.  My point is just that, devil's advocate.   I want people to look at issues from all sides, not just what they want, think, or have been indoctrinated to believe.   Question every thing.

    Except, apparently there are things said in this forum that WILL "disappear" or be censored if some moderator doesn't agree with it... Not sure if it was my post or a response to my post, but when I tried to post to that thread, I got "your post will appear once approved".   So much for real free speech...

    @onedbguru what you described as censorship or moderation is nothing more than a hiccup in vanilla code. Has nothing to do with moderation. That occurs sometimes when quoting something that's already been quoted multiple times. And sometimes just because...a glitch if you will. "When" Devastated gets the axe it won't be a glitch.

    Someone is saying or doing something that someone else doesn't approve of but isn't being forced to participate in or even observe.

    Sounds like a good reason to start a petition...

    Really?

    The man just implied that you are at best an intolerant segragationist, and at worst a racist. All for not embracing a massive trolling thread on a cooking forum?

    Where is the epiphany in that?

    It also sounds like something that will finally be heading to the Supreme Court soon.
