You and I might think it too harsh for what was posted, and I usually like

Edgeman's posts. But it is clear that Will is erring on the side of caution, so to speak. No, we dont have uncurtailed freedom of speech, here. This is a private company, and Will owns this platform. You can go out into the street, and say whatever you want, but you have to provide your own soap box. This is Will's soap box, and he has put restrictions on what can be discussed, and how such things are allowed to be discussed. We don't have to like these guidelines he uses. I'm not saying that I agree (or, disagree) with them, but I do understand that failure to abide by them, has consequences. I do admit that it can be hard to not post something, that would seem to be innocuous. It's easy right now, to slip up, when the owner makes no bones about dishing out immediate punishment, without further discussion. BTW, I did a quick search. Yesterday, on All Boards, this site had from at least 250, maybe as many as 500 posts. That adds up to around 90,000 posts, to 180,000 posts, per year. And, although yesterday was the World Cup Final, that number no doubt pales in comparison, to the number of posts made in Football season, and probably Basketball season. That's a whole lot of posts, to deal with. With all the complaints Will gets, and I have no idea the numbers of those complaints, but it is easy to see how much volume he has had to deal with. ** Edited by HokieNL at 7/20/2026, 7:28:46 PM

There is a new guy on here whose posts seem very similar to Edgeman's.

Will is defining these boards sharply. Measure twice, cut once.

You joined TSL less than six months ago and you make this judgement?

Politics gets into ad hominem back and forth in long threads.

There is freedom of speech...and exposure to private consequences...**
RTFC 07/20/26 12:26 PM ET
There's no freedom here**
Brown Water 07/20/26 08:26 AM ET
How about parts of speech? **
