As you are so utterly unserious and clearly have nothing to say, please send future ridiculous remarks to me personally so that I may read and delete them at my leisure and we can save valuable bandwidth on the board and thus spare those who actually want to have an intelligent discussion the spectacle of your . . . whatever.
David Bates
the preceding was a private message sent to me today. apparently i don't have anything to say. and i am "unserious".
apparently, the topics that i have raised in this forum,
whether it be billboards and free speech, or the N-R's coverage of the legislature raising taxes with a positive headline, are not to be taken seriously.
I guess ideological rants about stoning homosexuals, or dubya the war criminal are "serious" topics.
Marginalize me all you'd like. I'm just one small voice in this community. but my "unserious" remarks are about topics and comments that don't deserve serious response.

Well thats your opinion right, if you belittle someone elses opinion arent you doing the same as him wanting to eraseyour posts?
Except that others don't feel like they should respond since there opinions might get ridiculed from you?
Now don't get me completely wrong because your comments are harmless and easily overlooked but your post here is the same as his private message to you.
Except he didnt post it for all to view.
And again why give a crap:) If you deem it to be unworthy and you want the thread to know it by all means since you are intellectually superior to us all.
Maybe you are I dont' know you:)

I don't think he was addressing your reasonable offerings. And if you were an adult you would cooperate with his wishes and not throw such a fit over it. Why must you rebel against anything reasonable?
After your comments to me on the Homosexual thread, I'm beginning to think you are getting ready to be chastened from the News Register moderators.

I have seen David Bates put down others for their view on this forum. So what is wrong with myx posting a satirecal remark about Davids view? You have to admit Mr Bates view on the present situation is rather funny. I guess we all just have to agree with him to be taken seriously.

Actually I dont mind it and I dont condone him being at all censored from this or any other group but some of us take ourselves very seriously and a littl Myx is a good thing.
I think some of us including me take some of his comments to be just that an act of a seemingly superior attitude which is hard when you feel more for a topic but someone else has to belittle your point of view to prove they are smarter.
Sometimes it isnt fair but censor anyone from doing that is not right no matter what.

Interesting that the exchange and the post by Myx that led to my private message to him was not referred to or repeated so readers would have the proper context.
Interesting, but given the author of this thread, not surprising.

The thread was titled "What is Freedom to you", but it was hijacked ala mohammed atta by mr bates, and steered into the proverbial "bush is a liar, whine whine whine" World Trade Center.

Just for the record, here was the serious, thoughtful, intelligent piece of commentary that provoked the response:
So I guess your answer to the question "What is Freedom to You?"
would be "George Bush is a war criminal.WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP! *HOOT* *HOLLER* WOOP WOOP WOOP! *SPINS IN CIRCLES* I'M A JOURNALIST WOOP *HOOT* *HOLLER* MUCKRAKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! *HOOT*"
My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis

Perhaps Mr. Bates wouldn't get such responses if he wasn't so intent on hijacking unrelated threads to rant about GW Bush. There was a perfectly valid discussion in that thread, and it had nothing to do with Iraq, WMD, or Bush. Mr. Bates did not participate in that discussion, but instead used it as a cheap segue into another pointless and stupid debate over the war in Iraq, complete with a copy-and-paste of that tired Bush/Hitler comparison.
