I talked to both half a year ago when this all blew up. I was in the thread on /v/ talking to Ron, I made my case along with other anons. Ron was very non-committal. He claims Suika is his 2d wife so he is obviously not against it, but the moment Jim heard about it he put his foot down and Ron complied. Jim has never cared about free speech, he's a con artist (the 2ch/5ch fiasco is evidence of this) and 8kun is his journalist site experiment he tried after Goldwater failed and kikewheels had his drama with him.
Don't care about any of this. Free speech is free speech. 8chan clearly doesn't support free speech anymore. There's at least one cucked global mod rolling around in Jim's pig pen because they want the "internet cred" and attention that comes with the position. A huge portion left because they know that this compromises everything 8chan stood for. And you, where the fuck did you come from? You certainly weren't here when the site was founded.
