"Expressing an opinion"; "Freedom of speech".

Two of the most abused terms in current times.

I could quite easily call anyone on here every cussword under the sun and claim I'm using "Freedom of speech" to "Express an opinion". Such is the craze these days.

After moderating on an official music artists forum for some years, it was frightening to see the lengths some users went to just to get an "opinion" across...... Threatening to hack someone's PC, death threats in private messages, even sending pron images in PMs. Being a moderator, it was my job to deal with it, and when the perpetrator was banned I would get my share of threats and pron from their supporters.

A moderators lot, I suppose. A little light hearted banter is one thing, but there's always someone out there who's willing to push it further and TMO has been no exception.
