When I close a thread, making it clear that the discussion is not one we choose to promote here, what makes you think I am inviting a second thread on the same topic?

You have no rights to Freedom of Speech here on our privately-owned website. That's not open to debate, and I do not want to encourage these kinds of discussions because:
1) They always lead to flaming of the company in some manner, and
2) Too many people like to come in here quoting laws and statutes that have no bearing on us whatsoever. This then encourages others to post flaming attacks on the company and each other.

If you want to post here, you have to register here. In registering, you agree to abide by our rules. If you don't abide by them, we remove your ability to post. It's simple, it's well within the law, and it doesn't infringe upon anyone's rights. We never said you can't say whatever you want....we only said you can't say it HERE.

I am, once again, closing this discussion. If another pops up, I will happily offer a demonstration of how we exercise our rights and revoke your ability to post here.
