I'm confused and obviously haven't been following this.  What exactly is the Free Speech Zone.  I'd totally forgotten about gradient...

It's a usergroup (formerly known as "Big Brother"). 

When someone is a member of the Free Speech Zone they're able to read and participate in every thread in the MacAddict Forums except threads in MiniThink.  They can still read MiniThink, but they're not able to post.  Bans are handed out for people who use alternicks to get around being in the Free Speech Zone.

Dare I ask what happened to CD to finally get him banned?

Dare I ask where the hell you been hiding out, my man? We're drenched in blood from beating back the conservative hordes, and you're what, lying on a beach supping margaritas?

well, I got tivo and a PS2.  Plus to quote one who must not be named, I needed to take a break from the internet.

Actually, I got fed up with the utter crap that some poster were allowed to get away with no consequence.  It seems like several things have been done to fix things up (some notable bans, the big brother list).

In my defense, I don't actually get away with much. I get physical beatings for things that other people simply get banned for.

Clareaux is so tight-lipped about it, but really, how much do you pay her for her to come down here and institute the beatings? And when will she be retired'kthxthere'ssomeoneatt3hdoor.

oh THE smurf DUDE
