<<...isn't that what Freedom Of Speech is all about?>>

Eh? No offense, but no, it is not. This is a private group which absolutely has the right to establish rules of behavior. Also, my rights end precisely where someone else's begin.

No one has a "right" to be here in the ETS forums. And there are rules. Someone is in charge of enforcing the rules (Chris and Doug).

Not trying to chastise or embarass you - your statement is a very common misunderstanding of the 1st amendment - even some judges clearly misunderstand it (or else they are criminals - take your pick).

I'm not tarring and feathering you, LoL - but please be more judicious with the "jokes" in the future, OK?
