Okay, here's the thing. This isn't about "rights," or censorship. It's about someone who got kicked or banned (or threatened with such) from the MSP group for infringing on the "rights" of others in some way. I would bet real money on that. It's about a temper tantrum, a toddler who didn't get his way.
If it were truly about "rights," then this counter-argument would carry weight: others have rights, as well. Others have rights to live free of harrassment, free of bullying, free of pornography, free of hate speech, free of violence and personal attack. Those rights will always supercede someone's "right" to shit all over them and call it freedom.
As for The SFT, I'm sorry that you feel your fiction will be disqualified from curation by publishing industry professionals. You must already know it's not up to par, or you wouldn't be offended by an established standard of quality. I'm sorry that you grew up thinking that every kid in the sack race gets a blue ribbon, even the one who sat and pouted and wouldn't hop his turn. Equality for all, right? Even the underachievers.
Whatever the case, I'm only replying because from time to time I enjoy how much the idiocy of others makes the rest of us look so much smarter. You wanted attention? Well, you got it. You don't get to pick what kind of attention you get. At least you had the sense to use a fake account. Maybe you haven't fried every brain cell just yet.
First of all, I would like to thank you for admitting that your group has censored posts in your community. Now that a moderator has admitted guilt, the minions can stop demanding more evidence. Secondly i'd like to thank you for admitting that you think it's the right of the people to live free of harassment, free of bullying, free of pornography, free of hate speech, free of violence and personal attack. Sure, you're right if you had worded it differently and said "In our private group everyone has the right to bla bla bla bla bla." Key word "Private"
So let's just pretend you did say it that way. You madam are working for a group that is a threat to me and many others who share my values. Your group's values have been used so many times in history to destroy healthy and prosperous societies the world over. The world is a mess today all over and I believe a lot of the problems stems from the overwhelming leftist world we now have.
My goodness, it's your kind that believes everyone gets a blue ribbon. As long as you join the race and stay inside the sack, right? Those are things the left has brought to society.
"established standard of quality"? who established this standard? who's checking for quality? Your group? Fuck your gay group full and nancy men and women who would rather spend their lives fighting for the rights of animals, over the rights of the people. I've been sent here to destroy your group and everything it stands for. I care nothing about money. I'm a healthy human full of skills. When I need money, I go get it. I don't need to join some socialist group and abide by the rules to make a few bucks and feel good about myself. I feel good about myself everyday I fight for the freedoms of others.
Her running a book publishing book is a threat to you? Do you really fear that much? Just admit that you are a scared little man and move on. No one has censored you nor have you proven anything to the contrary. You can destroy nothing. You're just a sad man looking for attention. Besides. If you did your due diligence as you've claimed, you would know that the actual leader of the group already posted here.
@swelker101, have you figured out wtf he's even talking about? Not me. Dude is either on drugs or needs to be. He's enjoying the attention--possibly from inside a minimum security prison where he cashes his merit badges for time on the Internet--totally clueless about the definition of "anarchist" or the fact that we're all having a good laugh at his expense. I think I know who this is, by the way. And that makes me even less interested in his nonsensical rambling. See you on the censorship channel, welker. ;-) LOL
What the hell are you doing here? If you want to flirt with your internet boyfriend do it somewhere else.
Oh no! I've been censored! I'm so offended. This threatens me as a human being and an anarchist. For suddenly it seems that I do not have the right to free speech. Suddenly it seems that I do not have the right to say what I want to say, when I want to say it. Apparently there's a set of rules on this post and they infringe upon my basic freedoms. This post must have been made by a socialist libtard who thinks its okay to control what other people think and say. This is a disaster and spells the end of steemit and freedom of anarchists everywhere. Whatever shall we do?
I had a quick look at your posts. If you didn't have the power of the group behind you, no one would ever want to read your shit. To be real with you, its about as bad as it get. Boring as shit and about only as good as a sleeping pill. Be a real man and walk your own path without the training wheels MSP is offering you. Your group is the definition of everyone gets a blue ribbon. For the record, you started with the personal attacks.
Oh no!!
