perhaps he and TLC could rewrite SI TOU to read

I didn't see TLC's post, but know for a fact that mine didn't violate any rules. I was worried about it being taken the wrong way, so I asked that it be deleted.

could anyone imagine this sort of censorship

Hope you're not misguided enough to take the next step and make this a "First Amendment" issue.

The rules governing one's conduct in this establishment are posted quite plainly at the entrance. In fact, you had to press the "I Agree" button to gain access in the first place. The idea being that if you don't like the rules, lack the mental capacity to understand them well enough to comply, or are simply unwilling to comply, you just go elsewhere. Simple.

Most reasonable people won't see a sign on a restaurant reading "No shoes, no shirt, no service", then go in buck-naked and have a hissy-fit when they're bodily thrown out of the place.

You have the right to go around barefoot as much as you want. But any business or individual has the right to deny you barefoot entry. In much the same way a website can deny you your "right" to make vulgar fellatio comments to one of its female members (which is what you did, lest you try to represent it otherwise as you're inclined to do).

Let me know if I need to break it down more than that.

Regards,

(Bob)
