Sheeple Gateway is coming along just fine!!!  We are still on schedule to be fully functional by Halloween!  Today is the first day of autumn, and it's appropriate to allow Guests post what they want.  We are trusting in you!  If Guests behave, we will open Guest posting to the main forum in a few weeks!  Today, I had to execute my first ban.  I'm not sure if it was a total bot, but the new member posted 26 threads in a matter of a few hours.  That's just psycho!  I mean, if it was a human doing it!  Common sense says to be cool with common people.  If ya' can't do that, you're going to wind up bumped here.

I am a Libertarian.  That means I believe in free speech.  More than I believe in free speech, I believe in common sense and common decency.  This is a privately-owned forum, no different than privately-owned homes we live in.  It's a free country, right?  If you're living here in America with me, people still believe we have a free country.  But what does this mean?  Does it mean I have the freedom to enter my neighbor's house, sit on his couch, then take a poop on it?  No!  Common sense says our freedoms don't extend that far!  I'm sure you get the jist of it!  We welcome Guest posting in this subforum, and we hope you join as a regular member so you can post in the regular forum.

You'll notice that I didn't use the word "spam" when I explained myself here.  "Stupid is as stupid does," is what Forrest Gump is known to say.  "You can't fix stupid," is a popular saying.  Basically, stupid people say stupid things.  To ordinary people, it sounds stupid, and it comes across as spam when they do it in a social forum.  We're not going to call it spam, though.  It's their right of free speech to speak in the manner they know how to do.  It's my right as a forum operator to keep them separate from folks with common sense.
