    Default Free speech

    Well, it should be valued, and respected no matter how negative it is. I know, alot of users are going to reply "JUST DROP IT!". But do you know what, I won't. I will "kick up a fuss", because recently somebody got banned for speaking his mind. The "habbox lovers" excuse was: He always posts negatively. But did he? No, he occasionally posted an opinion, that differed from everyone elses. Was it negative? You could say it was, Im sure I would be irritated too if somebody advertised their website a bit, saying theirs was better. But he never said habbox was bad, he has been trying to help it. I enjoyed having him on here, he posted alot of good stuff. What has this forum come to?

    The only thing I think you don't get, is he did nothing wrong, infact he barely posted anything negative, and when he did he did not do it in a rude way. It was his opinion.

    I think that something people should learn is that no matter what the person in power says about free speech, etc. as soon as you get onto someones bad side, everything changes.

    I read a lot of Undertakers posts and they are very logical and aren't like most of the posts I see on this forum. Sure he has said some bad things about habbox management, but so what? That's LIFE. Management can't really expect to impress everyone and have everyone online to be 100% loyal and not disagree with them on anything.

    I do think that there is a little bit of an issue on this forum about free speech and I do think that he shouldn't have been banned.. but people need to hop off his jock and let him deal with it. I saw a guy in the other thread with like 21 out of the 62 posts in there.. not even really saying anything.

    Bottom line is that if management decide that they are going to take away the freedom of speech, there's nothing really that anyone here can do about it...

    This still makes me laugh. I've posted it enough times before: Free speech is a fallacy, it doesn't exist. You have the right to say what you want, but with that comes the responsibility to use that right wisely and not to annoy/offend/insult people with it. When you ignore that responsibility, you lose the right and are punished accordingly.
