I will always be around here tbpew, but blogging just seems to be the next logical step for me. BTW, I really enjoy your contributions (and your kind rebukes lol).

Looks to me like he will "control" what is there just as we have "controlled" what is here.

You are absolutely correct Matt.

As I said, the only way to truly post with freedom is to own the medium.

I haven't felt my freedom of speech has been stifled here. Not once. So I'm having difficulty understanding your concern. Maybe it's because you're part of an organization and received those nasty pm's, but what's to prevent it from happening at a place where you are in control?


The BAN button?

I don't think I have ever so much as received an infraction on AFF, though I could be wrong. I think I received one on NFCF for calling WWOD a bloated, self-righteous bigot (LOL). He and I eventually became civil acquaintances.

Mizpeh, my only problem is with the constant moving of boundaries on AFF. I never know what is acceptable. Plus, sometimes we all need a little change.

I have been trying to be a good little boy of late. Better and not bitter, ya know? Anyhoo, you are a wonderfully intelligent person whom I respect greatly.
