Eccie needs new thread.

Stop twisting my words.


Even if a website is hosted in the US, the first amendment isn't protected on it.



So I'll spell it out, easier so you can understand, and hopefully not twist my words to make me look like I don't know what I'm talking about


If ECCIE was hosted INSIDE of the US, the first amendment would not be protected on the site
If ECCIE was NOT hosted INSIDE the US, the first amendment would not be protected on the site.
I'll also throw in few a bonus extras!
If you were inside of someone's home, inside of the US, the first amendment would not be protected
If you were using someone's private service (such as a website, internet connection, newspaper) INSIDE the US, the first amendment would not be protected
If you were using someone's private service (such as a website, internet connection, newspaper) OUTSIDE the US, the first amendment would not be protected


The only place the first amendment is protected is when you are talking in PUBLIC.

A street corner is public.
A protect on public property is public
whitehouse.gov is public
This forum, any forum, any company's site, no matter where it is, as long as it is not owned and operated by the US government, is NOT protected for free speech.




People like to say 'first 'mendment, I can say what I want where I want!' but they are oh, so, so wrong.



Do I believe free speech as well as freedom to access information should be made a blanket law effecting everything? Depends. For the means to access data (internet, cellular), yes, I believe so. But I do not believe that Joe Shmo who owns a hookersite that's based in out of the Netherlands (because it is literally illegal in the US!), nor Twitter, nor Facebook, nor any private owned site, nor people in their homes need to uphold the first amendment... because it literally isn't written to cover that.

That depends on how the site sells itself, which is what the section 230 hubbub is all about.

It appears that sarcasm is lost on you. I had already said that ECCIE is hosted out of Netherlands, despite the domain name being owned by someone in Arizona. All of that information is available publicly.



So, no matter if someone in AZ owns the 'eccie.net' domain, and hosts it out of NL, or any other country, the first amendment has nothing to do with someone spamming on the website.

You haven’t articulated one Eccie rule or guideline that Berry has broken. Just because you say it’s spam doesn’t make it so. You and others have been bitching about this for two years. Can’t you take a hint? Eccie clearly doesn’t consider Berry’s threads are spam or anything else. End of story.

Best post in thread Bam!

Again... I add. Staff has ruled on this many times. Even here in the Pitt forum.

Just a warning here from experience. I think eccie staff is showing much constraint right now.

And again for anyone keeping score, this isn’t about anyone’s right to post endlessly. Have at it. It’s about which forum does national political discussion belong. But I think everyone knows that.
And again, before another repetitive response, ignore button does jack shit. The non-political topics get buried in literally a day or two.

Maga and faux and radical right-wing talking points. Death rates from covid were much higher with Republicans than democrats because they listened to the bullshit about masks and vaccines from total assholes like tRump and the radical right-wing conservative media. The biggest problem with this is that the maga and radical right repubicans ignored the recommendations of Fauci and listened to jackasses and made the pandemic worst for the country as a hole. Just like the maga crowd keep saying the election was stolen, this is just another example of misinformation passed on my the mindless gullible maga followers.

Gentlemen first and last warning get back on topic
... Please let me say one last thing:

... Lads - when we're all complaining of rules and laws
and how everything is spam and one-sided here in the
Pittsburgh forum and the Monitours are not fair

... Lemme remind EVERYBODY - there are AT LEAST - FIVE (5)
posters in this very forum Who Have Recently Been BANNED!
And are "back" now. (I'm one of them)

And MOST of them have CONSERVATIVE VIEWS! ... So much for
a lack of fairness... ... Do you see ANY of the
conservative-minded lads complaining of a LACK of fairness?
... I DON'T.

... Now I surely understand the thoughts and views of everyone
commenting on the issue of a "new thread" or "new forum"
- but it do seem to me that the Monitours have been
good enough at making forum decisions here.

... Can't we all just continue on?

Sorry with me yelling with things, mates... But just tryin'
like Jack-the-Lad to get me point across.
