John_Galt Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I am really enjoying these forums. From what I've seen so far, there is no censorship and a lot of interesting posts - sure beats other sites' MISC sections. The last thing that will make me happy, is if the forum is at least ideologically balanced (if not leaning towards my views). I've just joined yesterday (after finishing 4th ASOIAF book), so haven't gotten a chance to gauge that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could entertain the rest of us by starting a gun control or anti-taxation thread though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Galt Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 That's not Kahlan in your avatar, is it?It is - though people often think it's Joan of Arc. The Sword of Truth used to be one of my favorite series, until the Song of Ice and Fire that is. I found Martin's willingness to kill major protagonists at will very refreshing.

Same goes for 'terrorist-supporters', 'crying-heart liberals', 'tax-and-spend democrats' and 'xtian fundies' :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerraPrime Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 There is most definitely censorship on this board. I know. I'm one of the censors. :DThat said, we don't eject people from the board for the simple fact that they hold political views that are in the minority. We do, however, remove people and their posts when they act consistently like trolls or are otherwise uncivil. Our bar of tolerance is pretty high, but some do manage to cross those. At any rate, enjoy the threads. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
