>>>>>[ Lynch, a law or an amendment to a constitution is only words. They,
in and of themselves are meaningless until, a person or group of people
decided to enforce their meaning on themselves (hopefully) and others (more
likely).

If the forum is in UCAS or CAS matrix space, then yes, technically,
according to laws written by those governments, there exists free speech.
If it isn't enforced, than it is only a technicality. In that case,
everyone does what either a) someone forces them to do or b) what they want
to do anyway. Here it seems to be to smother those opinions that others
disagree with -- especially if it deals in politics.

For the record, we do agree with you. Let them talk - prove why they are
wrong, if you feel that urge. But don't silence them forcibly, because you
are unknowingly taking away your freedom to speak out as well. ]<<<<<
