Doesn't work that way, my house, my rules. I'm judge, jury and executioner, I can punt your ass for absolutely any reason I like on any site I own. Same is as true now as it ever was when it comes to posting on the boards. You have no rights on any board, no here, not GFY, not anywhere. You are the guest of the board owner. He gets tired of your shit, or if he/she just doesn't like you, you're gone. Your recourse? Go elsewhere and bitch about it to whoever will listen.

On GFY, you play by the rules set by Lensman, ICS and playboy. They protect their sponsors. Hmmm....let's think about that. What makes more sense? Endure the endless unsubstantiated rant of a nutjob or toss him in favor of the paying advertiser? Most boards make the same decision.

On Oprano, GonZo is the law west of the pecos. You might get more play here in the "no spin zone", but I assure you there are some quick ways to get tossed from here as well.

There is one right everyone has...that is the right to leave. People bitch about GFY, but they're still over there. It's a neat little paradox, everyone bitches about it, signal to noise ratio makes it increasingly hard to have a meaningful conversation or gleam any useful business tidbits. But there's so many eyeballs that people cant resist going over there to sigwhore and what not.
Very right on...
