Wow... harsh.This forum has one foot in the grave. :banghead:
I've always considered that when I start paying John and Mike for bandwidth and maintenance, then I can complain about their rules.So much for 1A...
yes this is a private owned forum but as far as i am concerned if someone donates money to this forum then they just baught there right to speak there mind and no one should be able to tell them they can not speak it how they see it.
Look at co-ops everyone ownes it so from the poor person to the wealthy they all have there right to speak.
Last time i heard private or not as long as the server that runs this forum sits in the USA the owners of this have no right to decide who can say what. 1A isnt just for the govt its for every AMERICAN who chooses to use there rights.

The first amendment is not only not "just for" the gov't it is not "for" the gov't at all. It is a constitutional restriction ON the gov't. As an incorporated amendment, no level of gov't can pop onto OCDO and delete a thread it doesn't like. However, as it is a restriction on gov't, it does not restrict private property rights (except in CA malls I guess) so if you came into my house or my forum and said something I did not like I can tell you to leave and bar you from reentry or delete your post. The first amendment doesn't guarantee someone the right to say whatever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want without consequence. See for example the concept of contempt of court if someone were to choose to start exercising their 1A rights in the middle of trial, or the potential consequences of "fighting words" for reference.Last time i heard private or not as long as the server that runs this forum sits in the USA the owners of this have no right to decide who can say what. 1A isnt just for the govt its for every AMERICAN who chooses to use there rights.

Good thing your here to explain to us all about the constitution. After all, we are to stupid to read or comprehend according to you.The shallowness of Constitutional understanding displayed in this thread is appalling.
Well, explain, please.The shallowness of Constitutional understanding displayed in this thread is appalling.
