The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Tis a crazy world when theplatypus and broken_iris are on the same page about something

But let's go back to talking about the more important Milo -- the cholatey malt thing.
Had some of that Milo ice cream the other day. It's basically the paste method with chocolate bits. Pretty good actually but not as good as regular ice cream with milo added.
The good old bars were like Milo powder encased in chocolate; they changed them about 15 years ago to a different, chewy kind of thing and they were terrible.

i hate when people decry freedom of speech is being violated. Freedom of speech allows you to say most anything you want but it does not mean there cant be repercussions. it also applies to government....not private or public businesses
just for that alone all his followers should be hammerbanned

The concern is that as people increasingly experience the world through their social networks, these businesses can guide opinion is ways that are not as obvious as something like Fox News. How do people become exposed to new ideas so they can evaluate them for themselves if not on social media? What happens when one of these businesses decides they don't like a particular viewpoint (or a particular person)? Their ability to silently shape opinion is frightening and it's worth taking pause to consider if the reaction was just in a context beyond this specific instance.
