Should other SodaHeads tell you what you can and cannot write when responding to their polls?

Everyone should be able to express their opinion. But calling another SH a rude word is unnecessary. And blocking people for an opinion is the lowest of the low.

it doesn't gain anything though does it? Venting on a personal basis doesn't win them over to your argument.

you need to think outside the box. Bush didn't cause the meltdown: banks did. And they are just moneygrubbers who will do what they do if the politicans allow them to by relaxing regulations. This started under Clinton. However, even though Clinton wiped away the regs that doesn't mean that they should do the evil stuff. Did Clinton do it, or did they do it because Clinton made it easier? i go with the "they".
They are evil, Clinton was stupid.

They've got Block AND Profanity filter. What more could a Conservative want?
Greedy little bastards.

BASTARDS!!!!

They should use the filter

That is the most hilarious post I have ever seen.....thank you so much for making me laugh my ass off!!!!!

I say what I want.

lol...I think you might be holding back just a little:)

More like just a lot. Back when I used to fart around on email discussion lists I got really good at flame fests. I mean REEELY good.

As it happens I came to SH to hone my 'diplomacy' skills. :-)

I generally never worry about a site's TOS. They're basically like the policy statements you get at work. It's the company's way of saying 'when we get tired of you, you're out of here.' The reasons don't really matter. When you fall out of favor you're toast.

. . .So I try to be as nice as I can (for reasons wholly independent of any TOS agreement), and when they're done with me I move on. I'm here till I'm not.

Awe,what happened to Nimitz? His account was deactivated, another one gone:(

weird, people just seem to disappear. Beats me.

Yes, quite true but sometimes I don't get why. Like why would Nimitz do it? Not saying I really know him, just what is the point?

Lol:)

One has to write what she or he wants

While I believe that no person should ever be censored for any reason, I also believe a bit of common sense should be exercised when writing your response to a poll. This common sense does not involve profanity or opinions, rather the topic itself. When you write a response, to anything, that response should be on the same topic as the original text.

For example:

I can almost guarantee that one of the responses to this post is going to say something involving the liberal party. This poll and article have nothing to do with the liberal left and thus they should not be mentioned as a response to this poll. If it comes up in conversation, that's fine, but it should not be used as a direct response. All you are doing is making yourself look like an idiot and declaring your hate for a group of people without any reason to.

Apart from remaining on topic, I see no reason to restrain one's self when responding to any topic. Censorship is death on the internet and must always be kept at bay.

Hey! I didn't mention libtards (or conservative knuckle walkers for that matter) ONCE! ROFL!

I keep my profanity filter on.

Ahh, the law of diminishing returns. Good point. :-)

Hey, I am a retired Marine sergeant, and can curse for 15 minutes straight without repeating myself. I have been blocked by several repugs and teabugers who felt they could dish it out, but could not take it. I reserve my efforts for them.

What the hell is this hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

Say what you want, but people do have the right to respectfully ask you to not say things on their polls. There is a profanity filter for people who don't want to see it, and it's silly for someone to make you type symbols to take the place of profanity... but if there's no reason to be profane, why fight about it?
