Millard, I know Heavyiron is a sponsor here but the guy is a fucking hypocrite. I've never liked him because he's a gear whore but taking shots at you and Meso crossed the line. The garbage he wrote really pisses me off.
Millard, I again want to publicly commend you for going against the traditional model of censored boards and subjecting yourself to the scorn and ridicule of certain cowardly veterans and administrators because you have chosen to follow your conscience and provide an uncensored forum.
I have no doubt that most of Meso's detractors will emphatically state they fully believe in the concepts of liberty and free speech but when it comes right down to it, they don't. They don't because they are cowards. Cowards who are so scared of being truly free that they are willing to give it up for the protection afforded them by what they perceive as a benevolent dictatorship. But no dictatorship is ever benevolent. By its very nature a dictatorship is a malevolent force. And nothing is ever more malevolent than the censorship of speech.
I hope you never become discouraged by your detractors, Millard. No one should ever feel discouraged because of the words of cowards. You should take great pride in what you've created in Meso. You should feel great pride for having the courage to not just say that you believe in something but to act on it. Never doubt that what you are doing is right and for what it's worth, I stand with you in the defense of liberty and free speech that makes Meso great. Hat's off to you Millard Baker.
