Do you moderators just not care about the first amendment

I am not a moderator but I will quote the first amendment to the Constititution of the United States:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petiton the Government for a redress of grievances."

 

This is purely a restriction upon the federal government (and also placed upon state governments and their representatives); this does not apply in any way to private (non-state) persons or organizations. Since this is a privately run site, the first amendment does not apply.

 

(You can't go into a store and yell and scream or cause, in any way, a disturbance and claim a first amendment right when you are removed; similarly, do not claim a first amendment right on this side; your first amendment rights do not apply here, as they do not apply on any other private sites.)

Thanks for that education Geno.    laugh

 

I will add that to the best of my knowledge, this site is in no way owned or operated from the United States.   wink
