I believe that mcrowder was suggesting that the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has nothing to do with the rights of the owners/operators/moderators of this site to delete or censor anything posted as they see fit - because it doesn't. If said parties choose to "abridge the freedom of speech" of those who post here, for whatever reason, they are free to do so and there is no Constitutional prohibition preventing them.
The Constitution only prohibits
Congress from enacting laws which constrain the right to free speech.
Quote:
|
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 petition the government for a redress of grievances.

At least that's what I believe he was suggesting.
