And of course the mods will draw the line concerning the rules of mobileread. BUT there is a line, and again, the discussion is where that line can be most effectively, and for mods sake, efficiently drawn, for an ebook forum.

Are you thinking someone is going to force you to participate in those threads or something? Why would it even matter to you if you don't read them?

Have fun, Kenny.

The main thing is, no, you don't get to say anything that you want at any time that you want, here or on any privately owned forum. What we are trying to do, as moderators, is find where the line should be drawn. Donnageddon feels strongly that the line should be short and close to the topics of e-readers, etc. Kenny feels that it should be broader and more open. I feel that it should be somewhere in the middle, perhaps more close to Donnageddon's line than Kenny's. But it is not my call. I have a say, as a moderator, but we are having discussion on how to determine the place to cut things off as moderators. It is not an easy decision.
