Arnold, CA…We believe strongly in unadulterated free speech. If people know they can speak freely even though they may be wrong or in the minority we believe it not only helps preserve other freedoms but acts as a pressure relief valve on society. If the goal is to persuade others to see the world as you do just screaming or typing obscenities rarely has that effect. We want you to have your say period. However, you can voice your opinion with reason and not just insults and vulgarity. So you may see some comments removed not because of content of beliefs or political position but on basis of profanity.

If you see anything you think crosses the vulgarity line let us know at news@thepinetree.net and please include the link to the article and it will be taken down post haste.
