I learned that from you my friend, you jumped in on me.. Anyway I do believe that each board should make their own rules then these types of issues wouldn't come up.
As for the 1st Amendments rights, you have them, you just don’t have them everywhere. You should know that by now. You know shout fire in a crowded theater.. etc.. I don’t think you folks have an argument you have many other boards to post on.
I guess the question is why do you insist that you post on Mach’s board, or shut it down by complaining to the admin? Seems lame to me and I must admit I pity you all for the rejection you are undoubtedly feeling.. it’s actually a symptom of deeper pain from childhood trauma. You really do need to take a course in self-reliance, it will help you grow out of your current state of dependence.
Hope that helps,
