<i>No it is not. It is a privately owned website where the owner allows people to participate in an online forum. It is still privately held. If the federal or state government owned and operated this site, then they could not inhibit a person's right to free speech. Think of coming here as if you were coming into Dr. Bob's home. It is his private property where his rules apply (as long as they don't break laws). He can choose who can stay and who must go. And he can decide what he will allow as conversation in his house. He has graciously made this forum available to anyone to read and if you sign up he allows you to post. It is still his forum. It is not public in the sense of a "public forum" or "public place". There is a huge difference. </i>

LEgally speaking, I think you are on very shakey ground there, but that really isnt the issue. Legally binding or not, to live by a constitution and then arbitrarilly take it or leave it as you so wish isnt really morally the right thing to do.

Anyway, I've spent far too much time on the admin board as it is (I generally find it a very negative place to hang out) so will wish you the very best of health, and a good nites sleep :-)

Regards

TJ
