Nope. One involves voluntary participation and one does not. Makes it completely different.

A person can voluntarily renounce their US citizenship and voluntarily immigrate to another country that will take them. This has happen many times before. Now....is that your ONLY excuse for Nielsio? or do you have another?

It's par for the course that you're attacking the person who's saying that advocation of genocide is bad.

Default An Excellent Example of a Strawman Argument

Ah.....an excelent example of a strawman argument.
To qualify for a strawman argument you must:
1. Falsely misrepresent another's position.
2. Refute that misrepresented position.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawman

I am criticizing your behavior on the politics forum. Specifically, running to the mods calling for people to be banned if you should disagree with their position.... Since you lack the skills or knowledge to verbally refute these people, you seek an authority to silence them. This tactic is no different from the tactics used by fascist and communist regimes that seek to stifle freedom. You are just a smaller version of George Orwell's Big Brother... And you claim to be an AC? LOL! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yes.. because fascists and communists are all about the freedom and greatly oppose genocide.

Great analogy sir, excellent.

I'm not the one trying to suppress the free exchange of speech....you are.
If you don't like what you see, then stop looking in the mirror.

Strawman....I have never made such a claim.
Mason and his underlings can ban anyone they want to and suppress any speech that they want to. Nielsio has no such right. You falsely misrepresent my position and mock a position I do not hold.

My comments were towards Nielsio's behavior to silence those he disagrees with... What makes his behavior more attrocious is that he claims to be an AC. A person that advocates personal freedom. Is this not true?

Has Nielso claimed a right to ban people? If so, I haven't seen it. And you can't deny that Mason has given the mods power to act on grievances from posters.

There's nothing contradictory about advocating that the state shouldn't be able to silence anyone but that the owner of a website should.

You made a false claim.
I stated correctly that I never claimed to have the right to free speech on a private site.

Now, you change the subject without conceding that you FALSELY stated a position that I never had. I'm not interested in chasing this red herring. You were busted making a false statement. Either apologize for your mistake or spare me from your further posts...

Be careful what you ask for Nielsio. Last time you cried about undermodding, we got mods that banned you every time you posted.

[/ QUOTE ]
Nielsio reminds me of the kid at school that said, "Teacher! Teacher! You forgot to give us homework." I suspect he had many atomic wedgies when he was in school....which I say to those bullies:
"Thank you, but you did not do enough".

What do you mean?
