Freedom of speech is not a right of venue.

Oh brother!!! [rolling eyes]

Random question: Why do the rocket scientists that make such silly statements never see the irony in their accusations remaining for all to see?

at the expense of of the free speech>>>

This site never has claimed to be about free speech, it says its a conservative forum, and reserves the right to pull threads and responses. Thats the rules, if people dont like it well they can just leave.

Examples, please.

I think the moderators do a great job of weeding out the trolls and lunatics while allowing discussion to proceed.

I did see that happen yesterday. Someone posted a great article about the futility of forced integretion with references to the inability of many in the black underclass to assimilate. The tone of it wasn't racist, rather it did underscore some very real problems. It was pulled. I though it was approriate under the circumstances we see in NO right now.

Owners of a forum have every right to pull threads that do not meet the standards they set.

FR isn't about "free speech". It is about discussion and and exposing the corruption and lies of the left. When people bring in stuff that is offensive or that violates the standards of the owner, he is perfectly within his rights to trash it and at his pleasure ban those who post such stuff.

As for solitron, nobody forced him to come here and nobody will be all that bothered by his leaving.
