I was recently banned over at truth zone for harping on this point. Admittedly, I was a bit too vociferous in making the point, and I have no objection to ANY forum banning ANYONE for ANY reason. This includes DIF, TZ or SZ, or any other. Whoever pays the server fees makes the rules and therefore, I am able to continue to post at THEIR discretion on THEIR forum.
Getting banned on a forum should never be an issue, as long as one has the ability to start their own forum paying their own server fees, or has access to a blog page, either paid for and sponsored, or available for a fee. Or, if you aren't inclined to use the internet, you can still broadcast as a radio station, as long as you aren't interfering with the right of others to do so.
This whole notion of "I'm entitled to post on DIF and say whatever the fook I want" is a bit of a red herring. Diamondgeezer and pheony didn't like it when I called them out on their double standard (free speech for those who hate icke, abuse towards those who defend him), and I was banned. Notice that there are only 3 other posters (vambo, jay darcy and dots) who defend or support Icke. Vambo and jay have disappeared, and dots is more or less inactive. In effect, practically speaking TZ is a david icke hate site. As is SZ, practically speaking. So was infinite love.
To make a brief story even briefer,
no one has the "right" to post on any internet forum.
It's not in the magna carta, or the US constitution. These are all privately owned and subsidized internet sites and the owner can do whatever they fuck they want with their own site, including restricting membership as they please, and limiting comments as they please. Don't like it? Start your own website or tv or radio station or youtube channel. Anyone who cannot recognize this basic fact is as dumb as a knob. No pun intended.

Anyone fnding this place who wants to have a rant, should go right ahead. It goes without saying that it's going to happen and given it's all still very fresh and ongoing, moaning about these threads being active isn't really warrented in my opinion.
People will find their own way around here in their own time and it would piss me off if I was new and being more or less told I'd said enough on a particular subject and asked to basically move along.
Which is how it reads to me.
If that's how it reads and judging by the several thanks you got for saying it, I guess it does to a good few folk, I apologise. It wasn't meant to be an instruction to close the thread. It was meant as Gilly, Jane and subsequently I have said. A plea to settle into the wider forum.
