"though it's nothing that can't be solved by another post that would clear
the misunderstanding."
No one asked for that. not a single user asked for any argumentation (that I
have).
"calling people trolls and other names (ad-hominem indeed) and not backing it
up is what you often did these days"
Sorry, but I think I did that only in this thread. And yes , that's not good
but I'm doing it on purpose simply to show that some "exclusive" users have
the right to say anything including call someone a troll like moxalt did
WHILE there is the majority of users who CANNOT DO SUCH.
So, as you say, freedom of speech it's not easy so there are limitations to
try to achieve that. In the English trisquel forum those limitation DOES NOT
APPLY to users like lembas, onpon4, MagicBanana, moxalt, etc. Thus, it is
censure made by themselves.
Also, an ad-hominem attack is when you use a human being as an argument (on
this case) and I didn't do that. In fact, as MagicBanana said I didn't sum up
ANY ARGUMENT. So, there CANNOT be an ad-hominem attack.
Simply making statements without an argument doesn't mean you don't have one
and the downvotes didn't have any arguments.
For example: onpon4 said he doesn't agree with Richard Stallman being a
troll. The he sums up an argument of that. However, think what would happened
if he wouldn't have summed up an argument... Read it:
I DON'T AGREE WITH RICHARD STALLMAN BEEING A TROLL.
Is that an ad-hominem attack? Because a positive adjetive/noun is used
doesn't mean it is an attack.
The same users replying to me because of calling Richard Stallman a troll
didn't reply to moxalt's post in which he calls me a troll.
