You're from Hungary...I am from what used to be Soviet Union...
I felt the way you feel for a while once I've joined this forum. People from Eastern European block treasure freedom of speech and democracy like no one in the world.
I am now in America...freedom of speech is supposed to be my right...but you know what? Freedom of speech as we understand it doesn't even exist here...
However...you still don't want to understand the main point here...something that it took me some time to understand but I did.
1. This is a private forum - this is not free for all.
2. This forum has rules which you can see right on the front page. They are not hidden somewhere to mislead you. It does say...read first or something to that effect. If you've read these rules and didn't agree with them - which is your right, you shouldn't have signed up as a member of this forum. Thus, you would have exercised your freedom of choice.
3. Once you have decided to sign up - if there are rules - you do have to obey them. It is true for anything in life. You can't be part of the society and be free of it. You do obey rules and laws of your country. So it is not such a huge stretch of imagination that forum might have certain rules.
4. This forum is part of the Meat Loaf fan club. So, in fact, most people here, if not all, are Meat Loaf fans. What can be more rewarding to a fan than to have their idol visiting the site and actually participating in discussions? Therefore, admins and mods of this forum are MORE conscious of the content of this forum then they might have been if ML never visited it...
5. If you still don't understand this...which you were told already numerous times...don't think anybody can help...however, I think you might be getting a message that you will not be supported by many here in your quest for so-called truth...and you willl not appear to be a martyr and/or a victim.
You were given rules...you broke them...you were punished...you served your time...you were let out and accepted back into the society...how is this different from what is going on in everyday life?
The main point is...you were accepted back into the society...make the best of it...
