this was my point...
freedom of speech, right? old members, new... we all have our preferences. some of us are fine with certain issues while some arent. i personally would love to see all the 'thank you' and 'goodbye' threads go, but just the sheer fact that they annoy me (and others, so ive read) is not reason to delete/lock them. the same goes with freddy fan.
while it does bring pain among some of you (for what reasons, im not sure, perhaps this site means a lot more to some of u than it does to others), it is something that happened here. whether once a month, or once a year, it WILL be brought up again. whether out of curiosity or with bitterness, SOMEONE will bring it up and most likely ask a question about it
we have always been free to talk abou what we want here. which is exactly why majority of 'general forum' is NON horror related. the forum is alive so something must be going right..
the second the freddyfan thread was locked, we were being dictated to about what we can and cannot speak about. the thread did not even have a CHANCE to get ugly, and if it had, then perhaps the situation would be different.
THAT is the issue. this was not an argument as to the good/bad/ugly of freddy fan, we will all have our separate opinions on that. i really d ont givashit about that, i personally see it as a good thing since even though idiots came on blaming you guys, fact is, you guys SAVED him as well as others. i tihnk that outweighs any "yuo guys put him up to this. its all because of horror movies" etc that any strangers who didnt even bother to research couldve told any of you
so i guess we are to assume that we cannot talk about 1) threatening the president 2) freddy fan. i can only wonder what else will be added onto that list....
and to clarify again, YES i do think the mods do a good job. there is a big difference between sayin 'clinton was a bad president' and 'clinton made some mistakes.' other than the freedom of speech issue, the only mistakes ive seen were deleting threads and banning wrong people, which were most likely accidents. which could be easily remedied simply by being more careful....
