Barry, the situation involved a minor and created the possibility for a potential liability or at least a pain in the ass for this board's owner. This board's owner or his designee has the right to limit speech on this privately owned board in order to prevent potential liability or alleviate what has become a pain in the ass. Aren't the first five words of the First Amendment "Congress shall make no law..."? Free speech is about governmental action, this is about keeping a piece of private property from potentially causing its owner a hassle. Capiche?



I catfishe that. I've said that from the beginning, haven't I? I said it when thev first SWCBN thread got locked, didn't I? I realize it's his show and can be run however he wants. I'm not disputing that. But that doesn't make him God Almighty. If anyone tramples on anyone's speech, I'm going to call them on it. I'm not SWCBN. I know the Bill of Rights and I know we're not talking a governmental issue here. I never, at any point, said we were.

If you think free speech is nothing more than a governmental issue, well, I'm sorry.

Apparently this has upset the delicate treehouse. Fine. I'm done with the issue. The explanation given was chickenshit. And the "truth" is about 2 steps up. But apparently no one gives a shit...altho I'm sure you would if it were your pet projects. But we already knew that, didn't we?
