Well, Norath isn't a public place. I can tell you you are welcome in my
house if you behave and speak according to my rules. If you break those
rules I can eject you. As long as those rules don't break overriding laws
(like discrimination based on race or sex) that doesn't *begin* to touch the
area of constitutional rights because it was MY house and you choose to come
in, and frankly I can ask you to leave for no reason in partiucular. Heh, as
my house is in Texas, if'n ya don't I kin shoot ya! Well, not exactly, but
you never quite know in Texas. :o)
At any rate, the speech thing is a Red Herring, Norrath isn't a public
place, it is owned by Sony/Verant. Heh, try telling you boss he's a arrogant
jerk and follow it with that he can't fire you because you have the right to
tell him that. *grin*
