"contact me for a site where even ugliness is open to uncensored debate"

The first forum I jumped into a few years ago was a place where virtually any topic could be explored without censorship. This place is like a clean room fit for open heart surgery by comparison, in fact all Canadian forums are pretty much like this and most of them are even more "clean". Some people have no idea of what's really going on because ignorance is well ... ignorance.

But let's focus our anger at who the real enemy is, because it's not with the forum ownership, it's with Canadian "law" and the bullies that ride on its coat tails who selectively represses and distort freedom of expression through acts of intimidation.

Make note of what Susan wrote:
"... and that anyone is free to create their own site if they want to spout racist garbage, although there are laws against hate in this country so you'll be taking your chances regarding potential charges."

The beauty in the system is the threat of "potential charges" which no matter how unsubstantiated a "potential charge" may be, being run through the legal process will ruin just about anyone unless you have enough cash to buy your way out, and I suspect that's the real reason why the article along with all of our responses was pulled.

If we allow every special interest group out there to silence whatever they may find disagreeable, then there'll be absolutely no freedom of expression at all.
