I just thought I'd point out that "freedom of speech" is a right protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. The purpose is to protect your freedom of speech and exercise of religion from the governmental powers.

A private entity (The Warpath, Matty, McDonalds or the guy down the street) cannot infringe on your legal right to freedom of speech, only the government can.

In other words, the mods can run this place like an absolute dictatorship and boot people because they don't like their font choices, and be completely justified.

The thread title is inane. Who cares if there's freedom of speech here? There doesn't need to be and nobody is infringing on your "online rights" because they don't exist in the first place. If you don't like how it's run, go somewhere else.
