A New Spin on Free Speech

[Splinter]

As I posted in the other thread, the right to free speech is overuled quite a bit on the internet. Especially on Private Message boards, because the owner has the right to set policy for what can and can't be discussed. It doesn't just stop at the old toon either, discussions of things like sex, drugs, religion, and other 'adult' topics are usually on the no-no list on most forums. Because they can get the owners of the said forums in trouble, or can cause fights with the users. And as much trouble makers like PWEDI, LoneWolf, and other shmucks pop up, yes......we do need monitered 24/7. We shouldn't have to be, people should know enough to follow the rules. But on the internet, people don't see another face that they have empathy for. So that's why you find quite a lot of people that don't care what they say or do, cause they can't see who they're hurting.
