In liberal democracy - ok, fair enough, this ain't exactly a liberal democracy - in benevolent BV administered dictatorship, people are allowed to say what they think. Thus, if Keith wasn't up to par at a show you went to, you are allowed to voice (or, er, type) that opinion. That's called freedom of speech. Unfortunately, the StonesTaliban around here wants that to cease.
I suggest you all spend this week reviewing the Federalist Papers.

You attacked ME, dong. You called me an A-hole(thanks). Do I not have freedom of speech,dong? Maybe you should brush up on the federalist Papers yourself, dong. I have as much right to express my opinion as anyone, do I not,dong?
Its nowt to do with freedom of speach. Its about spreading speculation, lies and estimations and ultimately repeateding the same statments till everyone here is bored to the point of distraction......

Good one, BV.I was just doing what he said I was keeping others from doing: Expressing an opinion. Lighten up, ding dong.

so let's sum up ablett's argument: it has nothing to do with freedom of speech, he just wants us to have no freedom of speech!

No Pal, I would like to see the stupid speculation of the demise of either KR or the Stones to stop, the continuous negative reaction to absolutely EVERYTHING stop and for a few to grow up......
Freedom of Speach by all means but lets make it interesting....

Quite agree. Freedom of speech is a right which should be protected.. ...but maybe freedom to repeat yourself ad nauseam should be restricted ;^)
LOL, ablett. the reason anybody posts on a message board is for "attention." conversations are based on people paying "attention" to one another. um, otherwise they wouldnt join a forum . . .your logic demonstrates itself to be topnotch, once again.

absolutely, hunter. my post is more aimed at those who actually want to SILENCE those that don't toe the party line.

however, to say or to deny it doesn´t make keith look or play better.
ablett you come here yourself again and again without having anything to say but trying to put other peoples opinions down. you don´t have nothing to say , you are just "i need to defend the stones" programmed.
With the freedom of speech comes also the obligation of knowing when to shut up!
If you walk by a very, very fat woman - a stranger - in the street, would you then consider it your "right" to walk up to her and tell her that she is very overweight and for her own good she should lose some weight? (for equality reasons I should point out that it could just as well be a very fat man ;-))
..or would that not be a good time to shut up? Right or not.
