Websites like this are privately owned. It's like being in someone's house. They get to make the rules. Simple as that.

You were supposed to take off your shoes on the porch, BTW. ;)
I will see once and for all....
I DO NOT support illegal immigration of any kind including ChiCom and other students slipping through the net. I do NOT support illegal flooding our country with invaders across the southern border. I do NOT support amnesty for illegals. I do NOT support ANY welfare benefits for illegal immigrants. I support deportation of illegals as lawbreakers. I DO NOT SUPPORT President Bush's callous disregard for the flood of illegal immigrants problem and his refusal to secure the southern border. I DO NOT SUPPORT Bush's apparent catering to Vincente Fox and the illegals flooding across the southern border. There is a lot I DO support about GWB but his handling of the southern border is NOT one of them and I consider his handling of this situation to be a threat to the security of the republic and an illegal handout to the welfare system of Mexico and El Salvador and Guatemala among others and an open portal for illegal Al Quaeda and Red Chinese spies and provacateurs, drug dealers, thugs and low lifes.
Now, I have said this same thing in more words many times on FR and I haven't been banned yet. We'll see this time. Anyone unsure of my opinions on this question? I will be happy to repeat. And if I am banned, which I consider unlikely, I will post that on FR via friends and in a classified in the WSJ. Now lets just wait it out.
Well, it's an LLC that does take voluntary fees (for profits can't take "donations" per-se) from people to operate, so it's not *quite* as simple as that.
For instance, if the guests in your house paid your mortgage every month, even though they weren't forced to, they might be entitled to expect a certain amount of treatment in return. If people pay to be able to post, getting yanked, or the threat of being yanked for their views - would indeed be a concern.
I think the members of FR are by and large supporting it's existence ... so while in theory you are correct, there is some area of grey here.
