You can say what you like (with reasonable argument to back it), and not get 'banned' - unlike with an increasing number of sites. It really is one of the last bastions of free speech and debate. Three cheers for that!:

Good people & good fun.

Lets not call it banned, lets call it "Russelled".
its Chenners not "Chenner's" asswipe...
By and large - with a couple of whinging exceptions - the people who dish it out here can take it.
Again by and large - and again with a couple of whinging exceptions - disagreement is based on genuine thought and well expressed opinion.
Again by and large - and yet again with a couple of whinging exceptions (a pattern is emerging I notice) the mere fact of expressing a liberal opinion isn't sufficient to discharge a tirade of personal abuse centring on the proposition that you are a traitor (even if you aren't American).
Gligamesh is extremely funny.
Shooey...
The trolling of Chensfold and his sock puppets here demonstrate Russell's great ability to wind them up. Ivy Style is a crap blog with no originality or creativity. Chensfold is what Ayn Rand would have called a "second-hander". He has no style or real personality and lives off the efforts of others.

No harm in posting this here, eh?

The best thing about this site is the freedom of speech. We can expose the shills and con artists without being banned by the owners or moderators. We can also take the mickey out of the iGents who take themselves far too seriously, especially those who blog and/or post pictures of themselves.
The reason why we are disliked is that these groups cannot stop or censor us. Our criticisms and critiques are found easily by search engines. We may be buff bastards but, in some cases, are performing a public service by unmasking the fraudsters and poseurs.
