What is the point of asking the Admin when you all shut down discussion?

What are you all scared of? We contribute to this site and at least we expect some leeway to express our opinions!

If you all only want our money on a quarterly basis and we should shut up, then you do not need our money. This place is too restrictive, like effing kindergarten.

Good luck with all this repressive crap! We pay to get our voices heard and then we get granite cookie, guess many more waiting online to join up!

This is supposed to be an adult site, where we can express how we feel, but no, cookie in store if you do not toe the ****ing line, what is the line we ate supposed to toe?

1. We are aware that our moderating system can seem overly repressive sometimes.

We are hoping that when we move into our new software, people will feel that they have greater leeway to express themselves.

2. Then you should stop deleting our messages as we too want to be
 heard!

I understand this is your playground, however, we contribute regularly.

Let the posts and op stay, that is Democratic and in keeping with free speech!

I know you you have a difficult job keeping this site up and I love it but please try to be a bit more democratic.

Having said all of the above, I love DU, best place ever but stop the sanctions, please!

It's like those universally-available printed copies of the Soviet Constitution which Solzhenitsyn mentions in Gulag Archipelago, Comrade akbacchus_BC; provided to give you the illusion of the rule of law and a rational, fair system.  Like those little Soviet paperbacks, however, the real rules are nothing but the entirely-arbitrary whims of your leaders.  Bow down before them!

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

No, he hasn't, nor do I ever expect him to.

By responding to me, my fellow alum Skins would be acknowledging that franksolich exists, and while the primitives seem paranoid now, that would send their paranoia into the stratosphere.

We don't want that.

Yes, just as freedom of expression went in Soviet Union. You are free to express yourself as long as you don't disagree with Uncle Stalin.
