Rant  what ever happend to freedom of speach it seems you cannot say anything even on the internet. sorry guys but i am annoyed i just went to another forum i became a member of last week and i have been banded for life i have no idea what i said that was wrong and it told me to read the rules so i endevoured to find them and could not i guess you need to be a member to read them.

any way what annoyed me was there was a question and i had a response to let this person know of a way he could achive the result he was looking for. i would write it here only maybe i would get bannded from here as well. anyone who reads my post or blogs if i write the wrong thing please let me know.  this is what i mean i cannot even use the internet for free speach this is getting ridiculous. this did upset me as all's i was trying to do was help my fellow man and i got banned from a site for doing so. i was only giving an answer he wrote the question and what bothers me is they are still sending there add's to my email. so what gives them the right to decide what is wrong or right.

i say bring back our freedom stop taking it from us, it's all control of the masses they don't like it if we have a voice, this is sad and makes for a sad and fearful world.

the really bad thing here in america is last year they passed a law that we can't gamble online anymore using money paid for through banks.hell there went a lot of my income.i thought mankind was advancing but not when you have these conservative uptight politicians who want to tell us how to run our lives.its pretty bad here right now although i'm hoping it will ease up once the devil bush leaves office in '08.

yes i agree i wasn't aware of that law i thought use were lucky because we have alltypes of laws on gambling online here. maybe they have a deal with the credit card companies and thats why they won't let you use your bank, they probebly make commition on the cards used on line. just more propergander if you ask me.

i hope u get a presedent u like in 08, i think our priminister is in love with your president and i hope he goes to, election is getting closer maybe we will both see a more positive outlook in 2008.

the site im with offers online gaming but if you don't live in australia it is credit card only too, looks like they win for now!

Don't beat yourself up over it, the owner of website probably didn't like what you said., and banned you. You may have unwittingly offended them by hitting a nerve no one knew would bother them.

I believe we do have free speech in this country. The internet is one of the most liberal places of all. I've seen sites that shock me. I once saw a web site that is so full of hate and bigotry it's hard to believe it's not satiristic. Our country has its flaws, and I do not like the way it has been run for the past few years, but you can say pretty much anything you want. I don't like some of the privacy (or should I say anti-privacy) acts, but there are a lot of countries where if you openly criticize or mock the leader, you'd be in big trouble. We just have to accept responsibility when you write or speak something another might find offensive or inappropriate. I mean, you can walk down the street and yell a racial slur or call someone an idiot, but that might upset people and you could get hurt (or killed.)

I sometimes get annoyed on LP and don't always agree with Todd, but I also don't have to post here either. It costs time and money for someone to run a web site, so even if I think someone's a dictatorial control freak, it's my choice to be here.

If you wrote "I like to have sex with 10 year old girls" I would probably report you to the FBI. Does that mean you don't have the right to post it? Absolutely not.

By the way, I don't disagree with you entirely. I used to spend time on various boards and once I was asked to leave because of my user name. It was goingBzerk and I guess the moderator didn't find it to be amusing. I can't remember, but it was probably a forum for insomnia or depression. I wasn't banned, but I was asked to change my user ID and to answer some questions if I wanted to return to the forum. Once I was blocked because I tried to help someone and broke the rules on a forum. It was medically related and I guess we weren't supposed to talk about drugs or prescription medication. Too bad that you weren't given the courtesy of at least knowing what you posted that broke the rules, although from your second paragraph, it sounds as if you have a clue.

Hello,

The main this that tends to get people banned from Lottery Post is posting ads. So if you're not posting links or ads you'll be fine.

You'll find 1 or 2 people obsessed with mentioning my name ad nuseaum, but don't let that bother you -- I don't. I really don't interfere in very much at all, but to hear them talk about it I spend all day trailing them around. I don't think I'd get much done if that was the case.

Good luck.
