On the whole people seem to be far too willing to defend to the death the freedom for destructive speech, but will gladly give up the rights for constructive speech. If you are worried about censorship I would recommend you take your obvious passion for the subject into the battlegrounds of civic society and political self-expression. Do not take this place too seriously.

As for your poll. It is quite obvious not meant as a serious attempt to poll the opinions of the .org users, as your options quite clearly give your true feelings on the subject. A true poll is required to be neutral on its subject, which yours certainly isn't. It denigrates and misrepresents any opinion that is not your own (even the status quo no. 3 option, where you represent those as cowards). Those you support, you compare the policies and personalities of the moderators on these forums (and as this appears to be specifically for EB, EB team members) to Nazis. An obvious defense of your poll is to say that it was a joke. Funny it may be, but it is nothing more than a rather obvious attack on myself and others.

If you feel that your time here on the .org is time spent within an oppressive police-state, then you are more than welcome to set up an alternative forum. I'm sure that they would be excellent and more adult addition to the group of total war fan-sites.

I am now going to close this thread as there as been no useful conversation on the topic for quite some time, and the thinly veiled and personal attack on the moderators here is not welcome.

If you feel that there is a severe and unfair attack on you or any other poster on these forums then please do take it up with the administrators of this site. I speak to TosaInu often, and I have to say that all my correspondence with him has been some of the politest I've ever had on the internet. I'm sure that he, or any of his colleagues would be happy to listen to your complaint.

However, has as been mentioned specifically many times over, these particular forums are for the discussion of Europa Barbarorum, and thus this is not a suitable area for a joke, attack or serious discussion on the rules and policies of this site and forum.

if you have any questions about my post, feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to help.

Kind Regards,
