...I know we have our version of the meaning of the Tower of Babel...Tiglath explained it nicely that them Hebrews were so shocked at the diversity of peoples, and therefore languages, in the Assyrian and Babylonian empires that to them it was a bunch of "babble".....but outside our community, and these people live OUTSIDE, the Tower of babel is just that; a bunch of noise.

Anyway...here's yet another version of free speech inaction at Maggie's...and it DOES sound like babbling...


Considering that we get hundreds of spam postings per day, we have implemented a new feature in posting.

...."hundreds of spam postings per day"? They do? Hundreds? How come we don't get any? Or, is this another excuse for banning people whose views are contrary to her's?


If a legitimate poster wants to participate they must first create a profile, which the forum will automatically guide you on how to do it. You will have to provide your email address, (which will be invisible from all viewers including admins) and once you submit the post, you will automatically get an email from speakassyria which will provide you with a password to use to post on the forum. Once you put in the password, you won't have to do it again, it will stay in your profile permanently, or you can change it down the line. But this will protect you and your profile from being used by another person, and it will eliminate spammers from using this forum.

...I can't imagine who these spammers are...or what their motive is. I thought spam was unwanted or unsolicited messages....advertising and things like that....is she calling spam whatever she disagrees with? But even then...HUNDREDS of spammers...per day???

...again; how come we don't get any? How is it we can operate without profiling people, or passwords, or banning or deleting? Obviously it can be done...and certainly our views are controversial in the extreme among assyrians.....we lambaste both assyrianism and Christianity. We've seen a few people try to confront us and challenge us...but we've never had to delete them or ban them...we've simply answered them and made THEM go away...which is how a democracy and free speech are supposed to operate...only thugs are afraid of challenges. Why can't Maggie deal intelligently with those who contradict her, especially when they produce facts...why? She'll say she's too busy to waste her time...but we see her and the rest of them waste plenty of time repeating the same tired things over and over again.

The answer to bad speech is MORE speech....not banning and deleting.

Please note: your first post is moderated, it means Admin's approval is required!


...no approval is required here....you rule yourself....we don't provide that service. We provide a forum, not a police force. And if you behave badly, you will eventually leave all on your own because we will make YOU see the futility and stupidity of your views, if that's what they deserve.
