Free speech… Are we now at this point?

I am sorry… are we so butt hurt by free-speech anymore that I will get banned by the slightest thing on Bring a Trailer? I would like you to have a look at my latest post on BaT…


if this is the case, America is headed in the completely wrong direction. And I NO longer want to be American! **** YOU Big Corporations.. I hope you’re listening to me and I hope this goes out to every person that’s ever gone to BaT. This is no longer acceptable … free speech, or nothing!
if MB world is no longer free speech… Please BAN ME and I have no problem ever coming back here… your choice. Isn’t this how America started? Quit listening to the 1% that ****ing get annoyed 99% of us aren’t ****ing annoyed by stuff like this! **** the 1%. Grow a set.

Your comment is being reviewed by MBworld staff.

I've had success fooling the bots that flag comments the same way we used to add phone numbers into posts, just use Bi den and they'll think you're woke and talking about a den of bisexuals.

I would have assumed they're watching you after your epic ramble on this auction: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...omments-anchor. There are also a few commenters that seemed to object to your comments about roadsters vs "boring gullwings" as not constructive in there and you may have been flagged by one of them. It don't know if it hurt his listing, but it definitely sold lower than many recent sales. I didn't flag your comment, but I don't think it was particularly helpful either, "free speech" or not.

On another note, I'm quite sure there are plenty of shenanigans happening on BaT... And not just limited to shill bidders either....."When something seems too good to be true..."

Yes it’s the society we live in now. But to be fair. It’s their site. They can do what they want.

I'm not sure your making a political reference on a private car website, not to mention under someone else's car listing, counts as big brother infringing on your free speech.
