Who said anything about losing First Amendment rights? Not me.

Posted by: RogerMore on Nov 30, 19:50 in response to RotoHockeyYTD2012's post Au contraire. What you say on HSX is protected by the...

The First Amendment protects people - or at least, American people - from government regulation on speech.

HSX is not the government.

HSX allows people to post on its community forums.  It sets out the rules by which they may do so in its Terms of Use.

It can ban people from posting on the site, and has done so.

Your First Amendment rights - the ability to say what you want free from government intervention - are simply not relevant to this.

I've been busy on other projects lately, but there are two new articles on HSXsanity. RogerMore Nov 30, 14:08

Au contraire. What you say on HSX is protected by the First Amendment. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Nov 30, 17:24

I am not bound, nor protected, by First Amendment. So, I guess those rules don't apply to me. Good thing there is a CoC... {nm} PVL Admin Nov 30, 19:11

Are you a constitutional lawyer (whatever that means)? I am a lawyer whose practice includes the First Amendment. I have concluded that DTXbro Dec 01, 12:09

Yeah, it's not a perfect article. I really wanted to get across that what's said on the boards is governed by the Terms of Use, and the 1st Roger More Dec 01, 14:28

Already did. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 01, 17:21

I appreciate what you do here. If I believed it appropriate to pick those nits, I would have done it when I first read the article. {nm} DTXbro Dec 01, 19:13

let me try to rephrase what HSXsanity was intending to say... RazorHawk Dec 02, 12:14

Had HSXsanity said exactly that, there would not have been any problem. (See inside). RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 02, 15:57

I haven't observed a debate like this about the law since my first year of law school . . . DTXbro Dec 02, 18:48

You don't deserve a response from RogerMore. You {nm} eyescovered Dec 02, 19:10

You were the one who brought the First Amendment into the discussion. Antibody Dec 03, 17:10

Into this discussion? Not at all. Totally different matter and totally different issues. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 03, 21:08

No, in the discussion of using the First Amendment as an excuse, {nm} Antibody Dec 04, 10:38

He already admitted that he was wrong - already made corrections. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 03, 21:11

RotoHockey, you should re-examine the law and statutes. Trentacus Dec 03, 08:23

Enlightened - not at all - that's exactly what was being said. (See inside). RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 03, 16:49

Your statement, 'What you say on HSX isn't protected by the First Amendment' is patently FALSE. Please remove it. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Nov 30, 19:47

Still poorly worded - 'action by HSX under the First Amendment'. Please remove 'under the First Amendment'. (See inside). RotoHockeyYTD2012 Nov 30, 20:43

RogerMore explained the First Amendment perfectly, at 19:50, above. Saved me the trouble. Not sure what you're on about. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Nov 30, 20:47

Your statement 'The First Amendment applies ... not to private corporations' is patently FALSE. Please remove it. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Nov 30, 20:52

Yeah, I won't be making changes because you're not good at reading. RogerMore Dec 01, 07:00

Exceptional at reading. Small wonder they have to butter the sides of your head to get you through the Theatre Doors. RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 01, 12:10

You should start a blog and post there instead of here. Then you can delete all comments that contradict what you think/believe. {nm} eyescovered Dec 01, 12:25

Such name calling! I think I'm done giving you any attention. {nm} Roger More Dec 01, 14:26

Can we call you Butter Head from now on, Roger? Hmm..actually, that sounds more like a Bond girl name. {nm} Paul2k Dec 01, 15:52

Agent Butterhead - he likes he likes a good piece of toast --with butter melted not softened {nm} JDolphin Dec 01, 18:22

Licensed to spread. {nm} RogerMore Dec 02, 09:07

Licensed to fill. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2012 Dec 02, 11:34

The First Amendment guarantees the RIGHT to say whatever you want. It does NOT guarantee the means. JohnTEQP Dec 02, 19:13

That's a good expansion on freedom of speech. edzep - Port Monkey! Dec 02, 20:40
