Reply #91: Censorship sux! Democracy won't flourish without others extending... [View All]

...first amendment freedoms to us on forums, websites, blogs and message boards. I realize these sites are private property, but there should be more tolerance of alternative viewpoints than there is on KOS and even here for that matter. Only posts that threaten the lives of others should be censored or pulled. Good or bad threads should be allowed to sink or swim on their own merit based on the response of the membership.

The mods at KOS appear to have fragile egos, and need to get over themselves and start thinking about the good of the country, upholding the Constitution and furthering the rights of the citizens of this country. If they are not doing that, why bother existing. They will quickly morph into just another "spin" site lacking in truth and credibility. Mods should let criticisms that don't threaten another poster or public figure's life run off them like water off a duck's back. If the democrats have any hope of ever winning another election, they MUST publicize the issue of voter fraud IMMEDIATELY and continuously until it is rectified. KOS is out of touch if he doesn't realize that, and his site will become pointless and irrelevant if democrats can not win most elections because the vote is rigged. He is cutting off his nose to spite his face, so to speak. He must implement safeguards against unwarranted censorship by the mods and admins on his site - and discuss the issue of censorship at his yearly conventions.

Everyone thinks that KOS himself is the reason the site is so populuar, but it's not about him really. IMO, the reason the site is so big is because of the posters that flock there who SHARE his viewpoint. KOS provides an outlet for them to unify their collective voices so their message is ampliefied and thereby more effective. KOS's site promotes "their" cause, which ultimately serves the greater good. The sooner KOS realizes this, the better chance he'll have of avoiding the pitfalls of having his "popular" site slide into the utter boredom of the spin cycle. If that happens, people will go elsewhere and unifiy under a new "it" blogger to find equality and unity of expression. Recycling centrally dictated talking points is a no no and a waste of time and if KOS indulges in ego stroking the admin/mod staff over there, he will shrink his site faster than a silk shirt in the hot cycle.
