Why is a thread on this site locked up? Mine just was.
I would like to know why, when a few members of this site happen to disagree on a subject, why it is immediately locked up? Within minutes.
Mine just was.
On Democratic Underground, that doesn't sound like 'Our Right to Free Speech to Me'.
Makes me feel a little paranoid, here.
So far in just a couple of minutes, no-one agreed with me, but for the sake of arguement and discourse, isn't that the very resaon why we are here?
To discuss and consider different opposing points of view.
What is happening here, when a post can be closed down so quickly and by so few on this sLocking
This thread is not going well at all, and we are locking this up as inflammatory.

Not long for this world.

1. You dont' have a right to free speech on DU. Check the Rules. IBTL and
FWTP.
No shit.

46. The FWTP is what you have to resort to when you're out of napkins and the pizza gets here.
I suspect you're right.

16. I thought you were representing a Democratic Society
who would have imagined if they had read the 'rules' more carefully that it was the Gestapo.
Say only what we say
Get it in while you can.

29. Why would you think
you have the right of "free speech" on a privately owned website?
Seriously.

42. ITFTP!
In Time For The Pizza!
Tanks for springin~!
my 2 cents -- yep, you don't have free speech, and anything that offends the moderator is gone. I would like a different spirit, but that's the spirit here and you get used to it.
At least they do have active moderators here!

43. I just dialed 1-800-14A-LERT and ordered some pep and cheese pizza
Nothing better to do, such as arranging for dental care for your daughter?
Adbot showed some money-off coupons for Easy-Off oven cleaner, presumably for when the cheese drips off the pizza onto the oven floor.

What is FWTP?

Yup. I'll bet the look on her face was identical to my son's the first time I took a toy away.

Domino's was much tastier though. :-)
Seriously, their new pizza is a big improvement.

It wouldn't take much. Dominoes has been tasting like crap for years/decades. (I used to deliver for them lo, these many years ago, and as a staple part of my diet back then, I knew when they started dipping from the septic tank.)

Well at least he hasn't abandoned her like he did his sons!
