Free Speech:

Even in the United States you can't go around saying anything you wish ie. "bomb" on an airplaine...and the internet is no different. You don't have to speak with graphic language to get your thoughts accross. This site is available to 13 year olds....I would be pretty embarresed if I went around talking in explicit language infront of my 13 year old cousin. While, I'm sure she's heard it all already, the point is, I should be setting a good example....this place is no different.

A message board is a place to exchange thoughts and ideas...to discuss and even debate. It is not a place for calling names, bashing other people, being rude for nothing more than gaining attention. Basically, it is not a place for negative vibes. No one wants to be treated with negativity, nor do they wish to read it.

While I think it is alright to disagree, how one handels their disagreements shows what kind of character and person they are.

I assume we all like, and respect, the legacy that is Master Splinter. Then, we can thus agree that while He would believe in free ideals, he would not believe that those should be expressed with malice or vulgarity. Period.
