Censorship of any kind is unacceptable. "Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself." [Potter Stewart] OR.....it stifles people's ideas, thoughts, etc. as this guy once said...... [... The worst evil is - and that's the product of censorship - is the self-censorship, because that twists spines, that destroys my character because I have to think something else and say something else, I have to always control myself. Milos Forman Source: www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/censorship_3.html...]

completely agree. listen, if Kane continues to miss scoring chances like he did against Buffalo, then go ahead and trade him. i will judge the kid on his playing, not his "playing" if you know what i mean. You, of all people could probably teach Kane a few tricks about "playing" if you know what I mean! yeah, i probably could.

There is literally no such thing as "libel" on a message board.
Did you know Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU?
And so no one freaks out:
The Craig James thing is just an example of the power of the internet. It's completely untrue, yet James has never sued anyone for "libel" over it. Hell the guy has never even acknowledged it!

If censorship is defined as stifling unsubstantiated rumours in which the main purpose of them is to stir Crap then, I'm all for censorship!

Kane For Doan was rightfully locked for the the fact it had gone way off topic. People were posting about other topics rather than starting new threads.
But anyone who said the matter of Kane and his off-ice activities was not up for discussion are eating crow considering the FreePress was all over the same story. So A+ for forum members for running with a story before the mainstream media...lol

So I log in this morning, see this topic has been moved And that I'm mysteriously missing a post. Hmmmm. I'll end the mystery for you. I deleted your post which was in between two posts of mine which I also deleted, but I have now retrieved it for you since you have complained (go ahead look above; it's there again). That a great point you make -- i.e., your point about how there cannot be libel on a message board -- which is both a ridiculous comment and dead wrong. As to your other comment. We move threads all the time. We always intended to move this thread to OT because it's in the wrong section, but allowed it to stay in the Jets Talk session for a full day so it could gain maximum exposure. We are moderating a forum for people who want to post here. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. Cheers... Hmmmmm...

If libel on a message board is a serious issue then please give me examples of people actually being sued for it, and something substantial happening.
You want a good counter-example? Tucker Max was sued for sued for stuff posted on his message board. The Judge threw it out.
Additionally, that Craig James thing is also a good counter-point.

Tucker Max was sued for sued for stuff posted on his message board. The Judge threw it out. Additionally, that Craig James thing is also a good counter-point. I don't have to give you any examples of which there are many. Look it up yourself. And our rule isn't just because we are concerned with liability issues. It's about common decency. I don't want people spreading BS rumours about other people on here -- Jets players or anyone. If there is a legit source, that's different, but we have no way of knowing whether hearsay is true or malicious BS - hence the rule. If you have a problem with our rule on this, you probably should find another forum. I suggest checking out "the Dirty." It may be more to your liking.
