Ross Byers arrested for ending "Homeless woman arrested for sending child to wrong school" thread.


Off-Topic Discussions


I was just starting to enjoy the "Homeless woman arrested for sending child to wrong school" thread when someone called Ross Byers ended the thread. I am assuming that he didn't some of the posts on the thread. In my opinion, I liked all of the posts, because I strongly believe in Free Speech, and unpopular free speech has to be protected.

For that reason, I am placing Ross Byers under Citizen's Arrest for violating my Constitutional right of Free Speech. Now I have to read him his Miranda Warning:

Mr. Byers, you have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand?

Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand?

You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand?

If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand?

Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?

Wow, first ammendment fail.

I wasn't aware that Paizo was the government.

You might want to practice the right to remain silent, though Lefar.


No, let him go. This will be fun to watch.

I don't know if Leafblower is Trolling or Serious. Praying for Trolling because it's too painful to think he(she?hir?it?) is serious.

I always knew that Byers kid was headed for trouble. That's why I didn't want my little snuggumses playing with him!

Umm not funny at all, Ross has a tough job Leafar and I bet he doesn't enjoy what he has to do sometimes. Maybe we should respect his judgment, since it is his job to make judgment calls about these threads.

Talk about calling for the thunder.

Your rights for free speech are dictated by the rules of the discussion board.

This will not end well so it is best to let it go.

Oh, and in before the lock...

Lock nothing... I'm wishing for a ban.

And yeah, this is coming from the guy who strongly disagrees with the outlook of some people in the political threads, and would never ask them to be banned.

My money's on Ross being able to take a joke.


Fry is confused.

I always laugh when someone brings up freedom of speech on a private message forum. It is like expecting to not be kicked out of someone's home after calling the wife a fat, ugly b.... or peeing on the furniture...

Paizo Troll Test.

1. Check to see if post is authored by the OP of this thread.

2. If so than post is troll post. Don't feed any further.

Done.

For those who have an interest in First Amendment law, they might remember that it only pertains to government controls on free speech, not regulations of conduct in private venues of which this message board is one of, and that Free Speech is not an aboslute right.

I would think that Ross' lack of response to this thread is his practicing the strategy of "don't feed the troll, ignore him and move on".

That is what I would do/have done if I were him. No response by anyone would have worked even better. ;)
