censorship

Nope.
Im just not an entitled brat that thinks he owns the world and can do or say anything he likes, anytime he likes, anywhere he likes.
I was taught respect for others growing up and I instinctively knew when I entered another’s home, I was to remove my shoes.

Social media, including this forum is often viewed by others, like yourself as a right, or entitlement. Just because this forum is in the public domain by no means gives anyone the right to say anything they like. And yes, I do censor. And that’s not a bad thing, unless your the one being censored.

There is such a thing called order. And as far as your rights on this forum, you share the same rights as any other member.

Again, at the bottom of each page is a link called Terms and rules. You and every member on this site agreed to those Terms and rules when you registered. If you or others don’t agree to those terms and rules, then you have no business being here.

Anyone can kick and scream or even protest the terms and rules. But at the end of the day, those protesting the terms or rules of this forum have no authority to change them.

Whine or cry as anyone might, yes, I censor content, as does the volunteer staff. We have always censored, and we will always censor. As the owner, I have that right. As a member, you have the choice to follow the rules, or have them enforced upon you. It’s really that simple.

When it comes to our constitutional Bill of Rights, it was explained to me this way. We have those rights as long as we do not use them to infringe on another's rights. For example. We have freedom of speech until we slander or speak lies of another.
 
In the USA Freedom of Speech refers to the people don't have to be afraid of government restrictions on expression, membership, art, etc. The eceptions are direct infringements on other individuals, incitements to violence, slander, and obscenity.
However individuals and groups outside government can create terms and restrictions to speech on their own property. Property rights are a key foundation to US law. This forum is property of the creators and they can set up terms to public use of said forum. Same with bussinesses being able to restrict use to the public, etc.

Exactly.
I would add this. Becoming a member on this site is not a paid service. In other words, I am not selling anything here and I reap no monetary gain. I do not run adds and I’ve taken down donations which would help to recoup the thousands of dollars I’ve invested into this site. That being said, I may put up a donation campaign next month to secure another year of hosting, but any monies donated are not to be viewed as a payment for service.

I want this site to give glory to God. I don’t run this site for my own glory. I run it the way I do because I want the World to see that we Christians can remain United, even in our differences. In other words, I want this site to give God the glory.

That's not why your post was deleted as I already told you why, so don't even go there pretending you are innocent in all of this. You, like the rest of us that replied to this thread, could have helped this young mans wrong understanding of scripture that led him to believe it was not sin, but instead you came in ranting and using sarcasm that a thread about masturbation was even allowed here on a Christian forum. You were not part of any solution to help this young Christian learn.
