Brendan Carr - will he fix FCC regs for us?

It would be interesting to see a frequency graph of the ignore lists to see which users are ignored the most.  

100 people surveyed, top three answers are on the board…..

He also has an axe to grind with the broadcast networks. Several times he said they should lose their licenses because he didn’t like the stories they broadcast. 

Huge difference between stories and lies..

One of my favorite quotes: "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

I suspect the author of that quote IS dead!

True that!

Quote

The statement "I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it" is often attributed to the French philosopher Voltaire. However, this expression does not appear in Voltaire's writings. Instead, it was written by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, who used the phrase to summarize Voltaire's beliefs on freedom of speech in her 1906 biography of the philosopher. Therefore, while Voltaire was a strong advocate for freedom of speech and renowned for his criticism of the Catholic Church and French monarchy, this particular quote was not directly said by him, but rather encapsulates the spirit of his philosophy.

I like that sentiment also, but a person also has the right to not listen.

By leaving, not by stopping the person from talking.

BINGO.

A lot of people want to stop you from saying what you want to say instead of just leaving.  AKA censorship on social media and by govt officials.

Just the same with "some people" trying to take shows off TV instead of just switching the station and not watching it.

I think you missed the point. If a person’s posts bother you, then just put the person on your ignore list. That doesn’t stop them from posting and nobody needs to leave.

I missed nothing.  Wasn't talking about only forum stuff.
