Note that this isn't about me this time. It's about the "Order vs. Chaos" argument. The topic goes like this: You can say just about anything that you want on the internet. But then you'll have to deal with the consequences (as in the people you've just pissed off, the moderation, etc.). The real kicker is that some people think that the First Amendment applies to them Note that this isn't about me this time. It's about the "Order vs. Chaos" argument.

But then you'll have to deal with the consequences (as in the people you've just pissed off, the moderation, etc.). The real kicker is that some people think that the First Amendment applies to them and that said right protects them from being banned either for running afoul of the site's rules or failure to realize what they were banned for after spamming the same topics that got them suspended right after their ban expires.

An example of said chaos...

Disclaimer to the moderation: I am not involved in the creation of that video and it did not come from my You Tube channels. Although I had found some parts of it to be entertaining, I do not condone the aforementioned behavior.

We're not going to open this, for a couple of reasons:

  • Poorly written OP. Please proofread yourself.
  • Inadequate premise. There's no meat to that conversation. This is all the answer it requires.
  • The linked video is a really poor case because it's about a kids' game, where standards of censorship are naturally higher.
