And why isn't this thread being closed?
And remember that the mods/admins have said countless times that they are not under the jurisdiction of the Constitution, they are a private site and not subject to any free speech laws, etc.
Well, in reality it is quite different, but do all sides care? In reality the statement "not subject to any free speech laws" is based on thin air, but it doesn't matter. As I said before, power decides rules. Though the problem is, ideas have changed power. Yes, this heretical thread should be burned, no.. bad for hard drive.. i mean..closed!
P.S. Another and quite different point, though still about the same, if this private site on the (hopefully for site owners) private server is located on the private state, be that in the middle of ocean or anywhere else, it still, is public, and not private space, thus obeying to public, not private rules.
P.P.S. Bah, I'm bored. Constitution is nothing, it's peace of paper. Only people who give it value, who believe that something important is written there, make it into something more then peace of paper. But this 'something', that is written in every constitution in the world, comes from ideas and values, that eventually, are not written. No private owner can cancel state rules while being on his private property. And no one can cancel international laws . And no one has or will cancel values, that can be seen any time when human beings communicate and thus form societies. Only power can ignore values, though values tend to come back and kick somebody's you know what.
Now, where's my ban, at least one
P.P.P.S.Then again, you could place server just outside earths atmosphere..and invite only redefined un-social family.
Right, 50% of total + 1 human being could easily cancel any kind of international rule.
