I think there is already enough editing of posts demanded by administration. It might be the mission statement of PB to allow for free speech, but to be able to admonish a poster or block their posting based on their behavior.* I am weak.
Thats why i want them posts gone.
I don't like that babble is a place where I have to be fearful.
So, thats why I keep going away.
I come back cuz of the good people I miss.
But I too weak.
So I stay away.
Sad, cuz its just pretty damn simple and not complicated.
If its SO frikken obvo a nasty post.
If I see a used condom on the school grounds, I pick it up and put it in the garbage. If there is dog sh*t in the park where the kids are playing, I pick it up. I remove that which is harmful.....> There are certain posts that I wish had not appeared on the boards, but it has always been within my power to select which post to read and which to avoid. Even if there is no hint in the subject line as to profane or "uncivil" language, I usually stop reading at the point I come across such verbiage.
*sometimes there is no warning.
And theres the thing where a person can't tear themselves away. Its very common.
Or sometimes in my case, I use it as a form of self punishment, to read that nastiness and feel hurt. I guess a form of Sinjury.
I hate that the ugliness stays.
It makes BABBLE UGLY that its there.
DIRTY UGLY BAD.
So block me.
I really don't care.
