Moderator guidance on "free speech":

This one guy keeps posting that I'm violating his "Free Speech" whenever I delete his posts that violate the TOS.

The U.S. Bill of Rights allows citizens the right to free speech in a public forum without limitations imposed by the State/Government. Most message boards are not actually public forums, but rather private forums open to the public. Private communities have a right to limit what is discussed and how it is discussed, as well as defining what is appropriate behavior for their forums. Freedom of speech is not the right to say something anywhere you want, but the right to say it somewhere. iHub welcomes all points of view as long as they are expressed in compliance with our Terms of Service. Freedom of Speech is the right to find another forum where you can speak your mind if you cannot do so in compliance with the rules here.

For those who would like a fuller explanation, please see the blog Freedom of Speech...Let Me Tell You What It's NOT.
