You are not allowed to speak freely. You are not allowed to have an opinion.

The other day I wanted to apply an age old adage, but it contained the word "fool" in it. I deferred for fear it would generate an alert and a hide from a stacked jury.

Imagine that for a second. A phrase older than the USA. The word fool which goes back to olde English, Shakespeare. Me hesitant to use it on the Internet lest some fucking loser gets offended.

Full circle, you are not allowed free expression in this Internet forum because of alert stalkers
