I might have missed something. Where the hack are you talking about. Which free speech and censorship are you talking about?

You don't speak for the community, stop pretending to.  Stop making yourself look foolish. Have some respect for people that at least make an effort to add to the community.

After you have done the above, if you don't want to use other people's 3rd party components, then teach yourself to write your own.

If you have a problem with something that an administrator or moderator has done I suggest you take it up with them directly. Trying to stir up community passions isn't the best to accomplish your goal. The staff that I've dealt with have been very accommodating and listen well. If there is an issue, normally it is best to bring it up in private instead of making a public affair of it.

who's pretending ? sorry babe, you are in the minority and your place is at the back of the bus with the rest of the trolls

majority of joomla users are a bit fed up with the lack of support in the area of components not working and breaking their site and I don't believe in censoring posts no matter how outragious they may get.  A community is one that accepts all [mod edit: removed abusive comments]

Ok enough... anyone who insult others is not welcome in this community. Especially after multiple warnings.
