[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7252056, member: 1"] I cannot acquiesce to your request. As I have for nearly 20 years now, I will continue to strongly champion the cause of third party publishers, a position which I hold dearly and which was the very founding principle of this site before it took on Eric Noah’s news beat. Without third party publishing, this site would not even exist; and so I will continue always to argue against any positions which I feel discourage the use of third party products. You are welcome to disagree, but don’t tell me what positions I am allowed to argue. Hell, it was just a mild 6-word comment supporting third party publishing, which you’ve now escalated into an “issue” which has now taken over the thread. And, even more important, you do not get to silence people who post things you don’t agree with. And you especially don’t get to tell me what opinions I may express in conversation or try to bully me into silence. Your correct remedy is to respond with a counter argument or ignore it. Silencing it is not one of your available options. [/QUOTE]
