So then, the BIG news of the day is that the top brass here have handed me a warning.
Sadly, they forgot to hand me a reason.
Why was I warned? Is it because I is hermaph?
Now, I know being a mod is a hard job and all, but don't be afraid: give me a reason.
I've consulted Timmargh, and as our Spokesman, wants an answer. He told me on MSN he was wheely-mad about the news and that he was leading a revolt. Timmargh told me he'd had enough of this spin.
He was thinking of starting a revolution. He wants a turnover in power. He wants the evil wheeler-dealers in charge of this forum to be shoved out of power. Timmargh is but a bruised, game, crippled, defective, deformed, handicapped, hobbling, hog-tied, limping, raw, sore, stiff little gimp. But he's the Big Wheels of our new operation. He's gonna push us into a new era.
The wheels of democracy are slowly turning.
Heads, my friend, shall roll.

In short... no, not when the content is deemed improper or degrading. For example, your prerfectly in your right express yourself freely, but if you walked up to a police type dude and said "F**k you p*g" you'll find your self nicked for it even though you were exercising your right to freedom of speech and expression of opinion.
In the UK, freedom of speech is a funny one since they changed the laws in the Criminal Justice Bill/Act back in 1993/4
FWIW, police type people can't do anything if you add "with all due respect" before any flaming! Oh the fun you can have with that!;)

Doesnt that violate freedom of speech though?

Now, are you absolutely sure about that ... ?
