Take.

Use.

Suggest new verbiage (but wow, that space is tiny).

I've never been so grateful to have a short username.

The critical right to protest of public political speech which was heinously denied in the Bush you mention and the discourteous disruption of private community speech as in the hypothetical example I provided are, in fact, two different things.

Once again, I am not a moderator of ljunity and was not online at the time of whatever transpired there.

I'm sorry you fail to see the nuance in these situations, but I don't think there's anything I can do to further address this issue with you.

This is an election. Your supporters were attacking jameth. Jame's supports came to his defense, you supporters exercised censorship, and now you say you can not control them, much like (again an election reference) Bush said he had no control over the Swift Boa Veterans, but he also (much like you) refused to denounce their tactics.

I think we are seeing exactly why you should NOT be elected. You are failing to take a leadership role. You claim to be for free speech, and then throw in exceptions. You are more than willing to let your supporters attack your opponents, and willing to stand by when your follower silence dissent. That is not what live journal needs. It is what it needs to be protected from.

I do not control my supporters; they are free individuals. jameth presumably, also does not control his.

I am not throwing in exceptions; rather, I have clearly have a different view of the uses and purposes of the LJ platform than you do. These are the honest disagreements of the electoral process. I am glad you have found a candidate that suits yours and that you are participating. But since we're not going to change each other's minds here, I'm freezing this thread, because I have to believe we both have better things to do in this election and in life than engage in what is threatening to become an endless pursuit of the last word.

pursuit of the last word.
