#1 So the Turks think they have a veto, eh? It's time someone slapped em down. Unfortunately, that ain't likely to be Obambi.

#2 Every NATO member has a veto, including France when they rejoin later this year.

#4 Since Islam is disrespectful (hostile/violent) to the west, I really can't find much sympathy about it.

Do it again and you're banned.

#7 I don't know which mod sinktrapped mojo's comment #3, but he or she might consider moving to Canada. I think you'll be happier there.

Don't push it, Mark. In case you've forgotten, Rantburg is private property; Fred sets the policy. You don't go into someone's house, insult their spouse, kick the dog, and p*ss on the carpet, do you?

Part of the policy is discouraging the use of perjoratives and statements that might get Rantburg in trouble (legal or otherwise).

It's basically called common sense. If you or anyone else has a problem with that, your options are to conduct yourself so as not to cause problems for Rantburg, set up your own site, or leave.

Your choice.

#9 I didn't redact that particular comment, nor did Pappy. In my case the reason I didn't is that Steve got to it first.

capiche?

#10 Pappy: I agree with everything you wrote in your post, with the exception of "the use of perjoratives... that might get Rantburg in trouble (legal or othrwise)".

Are you mods concerned Fred will be sued by the United Nations, Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, or OIC? God forbid. Oh, sorry...perhaps I should say Allah forbid. More comfortable with that?

I disagree with any mod (or Fred for that matter) that thinks mojo's comment insulted Fred's spouse,
kicked Fred's dog, or p*issed on Fred's carpet.

I will continue to come here and post comments until banned.

Your choice.

#11

I redacted the comment.

It is long-established Rantburg policy that we do not permit 'fighting words' in comments. Words that are pejorative on the basis of race, religion and ethnicity, and are seen as 'fighting words', are not permitted. For regulars who use such words, understand that the mods will redact you every time.

Rantburg works to be taken seriously. We have readers in many circles who understand what Fred is trying to do. That good work is undermined by childish name-calling. The mods will not permit that.

I hope this answers the questions that have been raised.

AoS

#12 It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, The Man come and
Take you away...

But please, allow me to rephrase:

Don't like the choice, O honored follower of the One True Religion?

Tough noogies.

Rantbug already gets blocked at some places of employment as a "hate site". It's not a far stretch to think that at some point in the future, the hassle of dealing with the fall-out will prove to be more than doing Rantburg is worth.

I disagree with any mod (or Fred for that matter) that thinks mojo's comment insulted Fred's spouse, kicked Fred's dog, or p*issed on Fred's carpet.

What part of 'private property' do you and mojo not seem to understand, Mark? Your right to free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

R*ghead is a perjorative, same as n*gger, k*ke, f*g, or any other word some commenters here seem to like to use.

Do. Not. Use. Them. At. Rantburg.

Clear?

I will continue to come here and post comments until banned.

That's fine. Just use common sense.
