Head-case is no longer just the anti-headfi. Sure, it was partly founded as an outlet for aggression against HF, but since then its definitely grown into its own site with its own culture. Always in the shadow of HF, sure, but I'm comfortable with that, and I'd venture to say that other regular members, moderators, and admins are comfortable with it as well. HC has all growed up since I joined a year ago, and it has been a really fun thing to watch. I didn't start the "slow forum" thread because this site was hoppin' with activity.
And the claim of "freedom of speech" is kind of stupid when the speech this claim is being used to defend is, well, stupid.
