#21✎ 322RNGesusLet's just close this thread with a conversation with me and random. The explanation of why there aren't any rules is in the conversation. Note: This isn't the actual conversation. this has had some minor edits but nothing major.
HylianHoundoom
Random, why don't you set up a democracy?
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
Because it doesn't work
HylianHoundoom
Why not?
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
Look, I'm sorry if people don't agree with your religion. But this isn't about you, this is about controlling something that isn't controllable
HylianHoundoom
No, this isn't just about bashing on religion. This is setting up a rule-set so people can act like human beings instead of jerks
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
Setting rules doesn't make people magically stop being jerks
HylianHoundoom
I know that, but it gets things better
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
And people have different ideas of who is the jerk. Usually a mod will ban BOTH of the people involved in an argument.
Both sides view the other side as a jerk
It's the same no matter what side you're on and no matter what the argument is about
So no, rules aren't going to change anything. I'm sorry
HylianHoundoom
I would like to know exactly why they won't work.
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
There's a reason we have freedom of speech in the United States. If you don't let people say what they want, they go crazy
And it's never "fair"
HylianHoundoom
Yes, but sometimes the freedom of speech can also interfere with other people's rights which is against the law.
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
Such as?
HylianHoundoom
The Supreme Court has recognized that the government may prohibit some speech that may cause a breach of the peace or cause violence.
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
Have you seen it enforced?
HylianHoundoom
law.cornell.edu/wex/first_amendment
read that
or skim it, like i did
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
Nothing in this chat can incite violence or disrupt peace. This is simply text on a screen
Please realize that these aren't even spoken words
HylianHoundoom
But its an offical site
from a law school
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
I didn't say the amendment is bad
HylianHoundoom
The right to petition the government for a redress of grievances guarantees people the right to ask the government to provide relief for a wrong through the courts (litigation) or other governmental action. It works with the right of assembly by allowing people to join together and seek change from the government.
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
OK, I'll make it simple
I'm not making rules, sorry
HylianHoundoom
I'm petitioning my grievances
randomouscrap☆☆☆☆☆
I'm not adding rules to the chat, I'm sorry.

#24✎ 30AGAaronI imagine whenever censorship is applied, I'd be one of the first to go over any religious debacle. I'm not one to make exceptions to free speech and I think it even counter-productive to protect the overly-sensitive. In other words, I'm quite happy with Random's decision.
