Sure I can stop reading, I can also stop coming to an RPG site which has an over abundance of shit eater stories. What you don't understand is that Rex runs two sites, but I doubt he posts that shit there, I wonder why that is?
You're right, I wouldn't post that there because it's not the right place for it.
And the Codex is? Just because you can? Just pause and think about that for a moment please.

With that said, this sort of shock content has always been a staple of the Codex. Do recall that I posted that thread quite a while back, so it's definitely not a new thread by any means. It was allowed back then, so why not now? What's changed?
Nothing! This is not just about freedom, yet it certainly raises that issue from the knee-jerkers it seems, it's about worthless attention whoring and the sites' policy of filtering retarded shit into a single place. I'm sure many didn't like the thread the first time round, but as you say this place has a free speech policy so it stayed. It wasn't appropriate subject matter for the General Discussion forum of any RPG site, and as I have said before (but you obviously can't read & comprehend due to either a massive persecution complex or incredible stupidity) it was not about censoring, just putting it where it belonged. It should, in my opinion - for what it's worth, have been moved there before now. Instead it has lain forgotten in GD, just for you to come and bump it because you wanted to carry on attention whoring with an OMG shock pissing contest. Because you thought you could.

This isn't about me. It's about how the site policies are being changed in a drastic fashion due to VD's overzealous moderation. A lot of us come here for the politically incorrect opinions, the freedom of speech, and the shock value. If VD can take away the 'shock' posts, it's only a matter of time before he extends the line by removing all of the politically incorrect immigrant-hating posts if he deems them 'offensive' or 'worthless'.
Get over yourself for fucks sake, of course it's about you. Take a bit of free advice: try listening to what other people are saying for a change. Seriously.
I've yet to see anyone complain about the shocking stuff where it has a point, is amusing or something other than existing just for gratuitous reasons. Yeah, it's an opinion whether something has merit, but I think you'll find many members would agree that the thread was pretty fucking retarded and belonged in RL at the very least. Yet you were still allowed the thread. Most things in society are decided by common opinions and compromise - there are few absolutes when it comes to societies.

Freedom of speech is all or nothing. You've either the freedom, or you don't.
So, the rest of the Codex comunity doesn't have the freedom to decide that after a year the thread was way overdue for being retardoed? So, all the members who saw it, thought it distasteful and without merit, but accepted that the (in their opinion) irresponsible abuse of freedom came with the territory and moved on silently. We're not allowed the freedom to want that thread banished to RL when you come to bump it for some more giggles and "oooh, look how extreme and shocking I am" a whole FUCKING YEAR LATER? And then you have the audacity to whine about losing freedom simply because you don't agree with a decision? That's so pathetic and self-centred I can hardly believe you're not still a child. You know that, since you're so very proud of your efforts, you could have continued to read it every hour for the rest of your life over there in RL and NO ONE WOULD HAVE STOPPED YOU!
At least NL gets it. @NL: if you really liked the story for real, then fair enough, but maybe you could find somewhere else where you can enjoy that kinda thing with like minded individuals? Worth a try I'd say.

Yes - it is isn't it. A messageboard on the internet run by someone who has decided to run it using a policy of freedom. All of the above text written by you and I is completely irrelevant in this context, as Astro has already stated. He said it very well, so I'll not reiterate - I simply wanted to put you right in the vain hope that you'll listen, and maybe take a long, hard look inside yourself. I didn't bother answering Roqua - he's pretty much just a troll whose recent personality change has been rather amusing, wheras you need a wake up call to reality so bad it must fucking hurt!
Look at it this way: you have the freedom to either grow up or carry on being such a immature little prick. Either wise up or stay a dumbfuck. Your call - I'll say no more on the subject.
(I don't think I can put it any simpler - I thought I was pretty clear before actually, guess I overestimated)
