Have you read your Constitution today?

Where private property is concerned, the owner has the right, exclusively, to
determine what forms of speech and expression are acceptable. Individuals
desiring to act outside of those bounds are free, and gloriously so, to ask for
permission and/or not partake of the property thereafter indicated.

To that extent, "censorship" is essentially the sole domain of the government.
Being told what you can or can't say in another individual's domain - home, club,
internet website - is simply, well, how it is.

I'd be surprised if you didn't know that. And if you did, or do, are you implicitly
suggesting that property is or should be communal in nature?


I'm not the one who is complaining about the censorship on this thread. In fact, I suggested it. And your comments precisely echo those of the thread originator (X).

Well done. -g-
