I am upset that ML is considering censoring the boards, especially when they claim it is over American legal activity. Here in the "good 'ol" US of A, at least last time I checked, we had these lovely pieces of paper, with names like:
Declaration of Independence,
Bill of Rights,
and last but not least, the United States Constitution.
And again, last time I checked, the first and one of the most critical Amendments to this piece of doctrine, is Freedom of Religion, Press, and Expression. Last time I checked this isn't a dictatorship, and we, as citizens, have a right to say anything we feel.
Confessions being censored is literally censorship for the sake there of. If someone posts that they raped 30 children, it is nothing more than a story unless evidence is provided, and is protected by constitutional law. So every movie and book that deals with similiar topics should be destroyed (Fahrenheit 451 anyone)? I think not.
Also, have any of you considered that maybe, just maybe, being able to openly share these obsessions anonymously may in fact keep some of these people from actually doing these things, finding cathartic satisfaction from being able to voice it?
You tout that this is a moral-free zone, where if it is legal it stays. Well I call you out on it now then. Will you be pioneers, standing up for the rights of the every-man, or will you bend over for Big Brother some more and let them rape one of the last uncensored areas left on the net for people with strong sexual tendencies in this country? You should really ask yourself what it is you actually stand for, and why you want any of us as members in the first place. Because I am willing to bet that the majority of so-called "anonymous" threads here are posted by ACTUAL members. You are selling out the very people who made this site thrive.
