I think it's pretty funny that all of these people posting on Mr. Malmuth's website think that he's in the wrong by implementing and enforcing his own set of rules.

If you come into my house with shoes on, I'm going to tell you to f off. My house, my rules, I do what I want in my house. This is no different. If you don't like Mason's house, perhaps you should find a more comfortable one."

Correct me if Im wrong, but I dont think anyone is saying Mason doesnt have the right to take this course of action, they're just saying they dont like it.

You are absolutely right about that.. and it is within the "consumers" right whether they want to frequent an establishment where they ban people for using the word "towelette".... That's what we call "freedom"... get used to it...

yeah, but this still doesnt mean freedom of speech rights are relevant.

all,

what is the deal w/ NVP? What goes on there that might hurt gambling?

I think when they say mean things about ***** and ******* and ******s and ***** they don't turn into asterisks.

Yes you guys are correct, you do indeed have the right to post your innermost feelings and thoughts regarding the way Mason runs his site. I'm sure Mason will head to ATF with great interest, as he always does when he needs business advice, read this post, and immediately change the way he runs 2+2.

/sarcasm

That's all I'm saying.

But last time I checked, we still live in USA... where freedom of expression/speech reigns in this country... For Mason to cite "Pornography" as a reason for banning anybody associated with "hate sites" like NWP seem hypocritical and fascist..

2+2 members are allowed to have avatar depicting naked girls.. yet Mason gives that as a reason for banning NWP and anybody associated w/ NWP??

Furthermore, for Mason to use his authority as a "Grand King of 2+2" to ban at his whim, makes him look small and childish... not to mention this kind of practice still pervades in deep recess of China and North Korea....

I would probably get banned for ranting my frustration here.... but then again, the allure of 2+2 has greatly diminshed my interest now....

Mason, you are battling a tough war here... The public sentiment doesn't support your view... If this was a North Korea, you would ban everyone that oppose you... then how many registered members you would have left???

you should become a politician

It's pretty explicit and is demeaning to female readers.

Considering he's been caught reading/looking at it a few times and it hasn't been deleted yet, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

Hi Everyone:

I have decided to lift the ban on Gary Wise.

Best wishes,
Mason

Disappointing, yes, but since trolling is pretty much actively encourage on much of the site, it's not terrible surprising.
