Subject: To the Moderator: Author: Gary Steven [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:06:30 09/23/24 Mon I'm seeing a number of posts of people complaining about the other posts on this particular Forum. How about letting us know, what's allowed and what's off limits. That way everybody knows what to post and what not to post. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Maddie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:37:14 09/24/24 Tue For starters the title of the forum is "Sometimes A GIRL Needs A Spanking". It focuses on adult women and spanking in adult relationships. It's not polite to overtake a group and hijack every thread taking it in weird directions. Being new to a group and instantly insulting members is rather rude. Lastly..."Ping The Fucking Duck"???? Let's have an intellectual discussion about a hundred year old children's book where a duck gets a smack on the ass. Then let's bitch about it being deleted. P.S.: Accusations of Anti-Semitism where there clearly is none is completely uncalled for. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Wondering-supportive [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:14:40 09/24/24 Tue I would think the moderator would shutter at the prospect of listing what is and is not allowed on this site. Arriving at such a list would be difficult at best, probably not all encompassing, and may well dissuade others from posting, even if not intended to do so. Leave well enough and hope that posters exercise reasonable judgment and that the intervention of the moderator is limited. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Laura [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:58:38 09/24/24 Tue The mindset that is rearing its ugly head is widespread in these times. It is called censorship. Is this really only suppose to be about adult women slapping each other's butts? Are G-rated discussions of spanking to be forbidden? Can men like Gary Stevens post? What some here are upset about is that he site is no longer creeping along slowly with just 4 or 5 active members talking about adult women slapping the rears of other adult women. There is some other stuff that might be relevant to why they enjoy this so much, but who cares about that intellectual inquiry? In olden times they used to say that free speech created a market place of ideas. The good stuff rises, and the crap sinks. IMHO that is the best way to approach this.

[> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Sam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:56:32 09/25/24 Wed It's because "Mary" and "Pastor Robinson" however, many other sock puppet accounts. They have has turned every single forum into abusing young boys and pedophile fantasies about them blowing each other. So yeah, some people would like that to stop [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Laura [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:10:21 09/25/24 Wed I got interested in this board because I was spanked as a kid/young teenager and have started spanking my stepdaughter. This is the only forum, where I saw a healthy discussion of this. And it has been primarily girl's bottoms which have been smacked in these accounts.. But, I do agree that sick stuff should not see the light of day. I guess if it turns the stomach of the moderator, he/she should delete it. And if the other stuff does not interest the board, it will die a natural death in the market place of ideas. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Brett [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 06:47:43 09/25/24 Wed What does this have to do with free speech? Isn't the owner of the group the dictator? If that person chooses not to give anything too specific as a topic, then that's your answer. It's about spanking girls, but nothing more specific. Posters decide the direction of discussion. Or, if the owner decides arbitrarily and without warning to delete something, then that's their prerogative. Don't like it, leave and go somewhere that accepts what you have to say. That's your free speech. Personally, I think it's preferable to have a more narrow topic. That way, people can choose what they're interested in, or go elsewhere to find it. Freedom is great, unless it's not. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Laura [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:53:58 09/25/24 Wed Of course, but you are confusing the constitutional right not to have the government interfere with speech, with the benefits of the broader right of free speech, from which the constitutional right is derived.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Sam [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:59:48 09/25/24 Wed I've never seen anybody who misunderstands the constitution and the declaration of independence as badly as you do [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Laura [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:05:53 09/26/24 Thu When the Constitution was first ratified it did not contain a prohibition on censorhip, because the drafters known as the Federalists (including Madison) believed they had created a government which would preserve and protect free speech. However a group of dissenters (known as the antifederalists, including Patrick Henry) felt the federal government was the greatest danger to free speech and must (along with other "natural rights") be spelled out in he new constitution. This was the first ten amendments, known collectively as the Bill of Rights. However, this did not nullify the desirability of other natural rights in other social contracts. People spoke of a "market place of ideas." Moonie actually opened the door here, when posting about adult spanking perhaps having roots in repentance and cleansing. Taylor posted a non-graphic anecdote from her childhood of this phenomena. I am not a longtime user, but it now seems to me for a longtime this has been pretty much the province and playground of anti-spanking spankos, among the "regulars" and the moderator has hinted is his/her desire. They want it confined to adult women spanking adult women, pay for spank services, imaginary spanking setups, spanko parties, etc. Accordingly, in the "market place of ideas" I, having no interest in it (just like I have no interest in the pedophile, fake Christian sites listed by "Reader") suspect I will naturally be opting out, regardless of whether I am formally banned.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Laura [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:31:16 09/26/24 Thu You said I knew nothing about the Constitution or the right of free speech. You begrudgingly admit I do, but do not seem to understand the broader principle. Would recognition of the right create a more desirable board, and not turning it into a child pornography board? In fact one thing I have considered, as a parent spanker, is whether childhood spanking creates adult spankos, and if so is it that undesirable, or of no matter. If it creates that risk (or emotional risks) is it outweighed by potential or claimed benefits. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Brett [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:34:33 09/25/24 Wed I'm not aware of any "right" of free speech on a forum such as this and, as I suggested, free is not always better. Would you prefer no focus of subject whatsoever here, just so we can all feel "free". [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Laura [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:03:43 09/25/24 Wed Have your read the Declaration of Independence, where it " speaks of "inalienable rights."? Check out John Locke. These are not rights granted by government, but as they referred to them "Natural Rights." They exist beyond and before the establishment of government. They exist in regard to all all social contracts. Natural Rights should only be abridged when there is a very important reason to do so. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Brett [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:28:02 09/26/24 Thu That is enlightened and, in another discussion, possibly relevant. If the owner of this forum allows it, you have the right to speak without listening. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Laura to Thea [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:41:57 09/26/24 Thu I apologize my replies to you were misplaced and included with those to Brett and Sam. With threads being deleted and I for one growing tired of the dustup, I suspect things are going back toward the norm you like. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: To the Moderator: Author: Gary Steven (Apologies) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:23:16 09/25/24 Wed I wasn't trying to "throw rocks at a hornet's nest" so to speak. I have been posting and reading this forum for a while and with some of the "more colorful" posts I have been reading lately on this and other forums, I was asking a simple question. I wasn't trying to offend anyone. If I have offended anyone by asking, then I apologize. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
