There is no such things as "Free Speech" on a forum anyway.
What part of that Shitstorm thread was about free speech anyway?
My apologies Stu there was apparently something I missed!

Actually the part you missed was where I pointed out that (in public) you ARE free to say whatever you want even if it pisses someone off or rustles their jimmies. The whole concept of "Hate speech" is a touchy one, and I personally "HATE" the term itself.
A certain founding document states that ALL speech is protected and does not mention, or address this "hate speech" concept we have recently invented.
And I pointed out that even Bigots have a right to their opinion, and trying to quiet them violates THEIR rights.
People even
have a right to be racist if they want they just cannot use violence to make their point.
On a forum, you are right.
The rules are - "Whatever the mods say" - Period.
I don't argue with that.
