If I can just get you, Robert and Fox to excuse yourselves from free speech due to your role as moderators -everything will be much easier for the steamrolling prosecution and execution of treasonous HZ-ers.
Get real.
Robert has the responsibility to remain somewhat neutral. With power comes responsibility. RObert gave his lecture to RL about appearing impartial - a speech that went right over RLs head. He should take his words to heart.
There was enough folks taking outrage at Gary's comment without him needing to add his voice to the fray. Robert's human though and is excused for having human reactions.
Incidentally, since Gary was speaking in generalities and in the process of creating an analogy to describe an Iranians relationship to an American, it was quite obvious no "accusations" of treason were being leveled at any particular HZ participant. It's called hyperbole. It's very common here at the HZ.
And Fox's take no prisoner's tone set up Gary's tone. It's ridiculous to read that thread and not see the context.
On the plus side, it stirs up controversy and gives folks something to post about...that is always a welcome thing.
;-)
Flame » in reply to Yeah, you'd like to talk Robert into censoring himself, wouldn't you?
