w00t w00t. :) Go Flagg, I think it's the right decision, and keep on doing
it if anyone else is offended by a badly named world. :))

I'm no lawyer or political scientist, but I believe, for everyone's benefit,
that the term "freedom of speech" is often miscontrued as the freedom to say
anything you want. Rather what "freedom of speech" means is the freedom of
intelectual speech. That means no libel against an individual. Period.

A corporation is also granted certain rights and privelages just like a
regular person. So AWCom, for example, can reserve the right to terminate
any world if they want, as long as the action doesn't violate the First
Amendment. This is most likely the reason IMO that there are Gor worlds
running in the AW universe. However in most cases their decision would
probably hold up in court.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong in any way, please. :)

because the Xelagot is probably THE most used bot, and XelaG is a very
talented bot programmer...

Nah.... That would be stupid...
Throughout all of my bickering to certain people in the NGS... I would
not go so low as to get any world called BwaySux. That is the lowest
form of HATE you could ever have in AW... And i don't even posses that
stupidity or that much hate.

Let me see if i get this right...
If this world name dosen't bother me... It sould be allowed to say as
it's my Freedom to have it. FukUALL world, FukAWCOM world, ShitOnAW
world, CrapOnAW world... Names like that. Although the names don't
bother me... OK.... I'll be a Sport Here...
Look.... JFK2Sux world, SuxJFK2 world... etc...
Ok.... I still don't mind that. To me... It's the same as someone
making a opinion about me and although i may not like what they say
about me... They have the right to say it. But i'm not the one that
will STOOP to that level of creating a name for some world i ever own
either. People that have enough brains and common decency don't stoop
to such idiotic stupidity behavior to state an opinion about someone or
something.
