"I expect to take abuse on this, but I can't afford the risk, regardless of where anyone falls on this issue. I don't really have a choice here. The person making the threat has made it clear that they expect me to run this site like Facebook and Twitter. That's not going to happen. We don't have that type of resource, and I don't have it in me to do that. That's not what this site has ever been about. This site has operated for 20 years as a wild west bastion of free speech."
Wow, balls of cotton.
Orange Mane Bad?
Based on what law?
Background:
The Orange Mane is an open forum primarily meant for Denver Broncos fans to discuss their team. The site also has a “WRP” Forum where users can discuss religion and politics instead of football. This has become a place for some liberals to do what liberals do - attempt to destroy anyone they disagree with.
I’m posting this here to show that objectors are now going to the courts to try to shut down websites that don’t toe the line on COVID information.
Forewarned is forearmed. The social media gestapo may soon arrive on JimRob’s doorstep.
I wonder if this site owner has received threats...how long before that happens?
I’ll bet you have a dozen members who would accept the domain name, release your personal connection, and keep it up and going for the members.
I hate to see this. I just went through a similar thing. So I gave my forum site and domain to someone who was graciously willing to keep it open as logged in members only viewing.
This is where being open to the general public can be a legal detriment. It is coming to the point where if you don’t make it a private party everyone will lose it.
Private clubs are afforded legal protections that public viewable forums are not.
Or he could just ignore it and go on with the forum. The laws don’t apply anymore.
I don’t see how ANY individual can make a threat like that. I’d be calling Institute for Justice or one of the other freedom groups & ask for a little legal advice. You can threaten right back at ‘em.
This doesn’t even warrant a FR posting, much less breaking news.
Laughable hubris.
Is it against the law to name who is threatening you?
Bttt
I think the only way to end this once in for all is for a wealthy conservative or a group of conservative to launch a satellite into space.
By pass the internet ..satellite tv..the internet?
