Why was my Arabs thread closed? It was an honest and good natured attempt to understand whats going on in that part of the world.

What up with free speech?.

good natured??

I will have to agree with CM on this one. Good Natured?? I do not think that saying we should kill them all is Good natured.

This is all I will say on this subject

But you live under Her Majesty's rule. God save the Queen and all that. You have no "free speech".

Now, if you lived here in the USA, then maybe your thread wouldn't have been closed.

...nah, it still would've been closed.

I just read your post. If you honestly feel that way, then I truely feel sorry for you. You must live a cold bitter life. That is if you truely feel that way...

What up with free speech?

Simple enough explanation. TechIMO supports public free speech, though this board is regulated under the guidelines and rules of a private enterprise.

pretty funny that you even have to ask this in a whole new thread

Our forum is culturally diverse, and we will continue to be respectful of all members regardless of their ethnic, religious or cultural background. Open discussion pertaining to mid-eastern affairs is still permitted here, but only if it remains constructive.

It has become evident that many people are having difficulty expressing their opinions on mid-eastern cultural and political issues without becoming unruly and facetious. Therefore, I have become intolerant of all threads and messages that express blanket stereotypes based only on ancestry or messages that suggest the use of genocide.

I think my PM explained it plainly enough. If you can't accept that, well.......

I think one one here would endorse your views, but they are your views and you are certainly entitled to express them.

Not here though.

Read Finger's post carefully. I'm only surprised he didn't close it earlier. Must have seen it late.
