I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it.

I hate to say it, but this isn't the United States of America. This is the United States of Yoshi. When you pressed "I agree with contract", you agree with all the terms with it. Forums can disable your freedom of speech as you want. Just because you entered a forum, does not entitle you the same rights as being a citiizen, because you are on PRIVATE PROPERTY.
The funny thing is that I discussed this issue with Yoshi a while ago and he was the one that removed Dr. Shotgun's avatar. This is HIS property therefore, whatever he says goes.
I'm just a tool that is programmed to follow what he says I should do.
Comparing an inanimate object such as a gun with Hitler is an absurd thing to do. If you had a gun or a pencil, do these things kill people? No, it's the PERSON who has the idea of murdering that uses them who does the crime. Hitler, as pointed out by Psycho, believed in racism.
I'm not sure how murdering 6 million people compares to disliking my avatar or pie. It's a large margin of difference if you ask me.
You know what, you guys can go outside and wave swastikas as much as you want. It wouldn't bother me because you are on public property, therefore you are entitled rights. If you come on these forums, you have signed a waiver that restricts your rights to what Yoshi thinks fit.
I don't know if you get a good laugh at waving symbols of hate and racism around, but that's not my cup of tea. Like I said before, my opinion does not matter. What Yoshi thinks does, because it's HIS property. If he doesn't like it, he can remove all he wants. He could ban every single person on SEN for no apparent reason, other than he "felt like it".
Freedom of speech do not exist on these boards.
Let me remind everyone about a piece of the contract everyone signed before they joined these boards. Signing a contract means you accept being BOUND to the terms, whether you like it or not. If you breach the contract, you are entitled to punishment.
