RotoHockey, you should re-examine the law and statutes.
Free Speech is a right, and you are free to speak your mind. However, you are limited as to the medians in which you distribute your speech. When you use a website, for example, HSX, you are (before being allowed to post) sign up and agree with the TOS. In it, it explicitly states what you are and are not allowed to do/say.
Furthermore, the Constitution and Bill of Rights protects those rights against governmental intrussion or other State intrussion without the course of due process, but in the case of speech, it is absolute. Companies and websites are free to limit this because you are not being forced to use their site as a means to display or otherwise broadcast your opinions or anything else you come up with.
The point being, when using a website such as this, you do not have any expectations of having the freedom to say whatever you want if you clearly violate the agreement YOU made with the host site prior to your statements. No matter what you, or anyone thinks. It's simple law and torts.
I hope I was able to enlighten you on Constitutional Law.
I've been busy on other projects lately, but there are two new articles on HSXsanity. Nov 30, 14:08
thx {nm} Nov 30, 15:17
Au contraire. What you say on HSX is protected by the First Amendment. Nov 30, 17:24
Who said anything about losing First Amendment rights? Not me. Nov 30, 19:50
Already did. {nm} Dec 01, 17:21
let me try to rephrase what HSXsanity was intending to say... Dec 02, 12:14
Had HSXsanity said exactly that, there would not have been any problem. (See inside). Dec 02, 15:57
I haven't observed a debate like this about the law since my first year of law school . . . Dec 02, 18:48
You don't deserve a response from RogerMore. You {nm} Dec 02, 19:10
You were the one who brought the First Amendment into the discussion. Dec 03, 17:10
Into this discussion? Not at all. Totally different matter and totally different issues. {nm} Dec 03, 21:08
No, in the discussion of using the First Amendment as an excuse, {nm} Dec 04, 10:38
He already admitted that he was wrong - already made corrections. {nm} Dec 03, 21:11
RotoHockey, you should re-examine the law and statutes. Dec 03, 08:23
Enlightened - not at all - that's exactly what was being said. (See inside). 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} Nov 30, 19:47
Still poorly worded - 'action by HSX under the First Amendment'. Please remove 'under the First Amendment'. (See inside). 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} Nov 30, 20:47
Your statement 'The First Amendment applies ... not to private corporations' is patently FALSE. Please remove it. Nov 30, 20:52
Yeah, I won't be making changes because you're not good at reading. 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. Dec 01, 12:10
Such name calling! I think I'm done giving you any attention. {nm} 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} Dec 01, 15:52
Agent Butterhead - he likes he likes a good piece of toast --with butter melted not softened {nm} Dec 01, 18:22
Licensed to spread. {nm} Dec 02, 09:07
Licensed to fill. {nm} Dec 02, 11:34
The First Amendment guarantees the RIGHT to say whatever you want. It does NOT guarantee the means. Dec 02, 19:13
That's a good expansion on freedom of speech. Dec 02, 20:40
