Freedom of Speech?

Freedom? Dissenting views?Banning?

Yes commenters who fail to comply with the relatively simple rules may indeed be stricken to the banned list.This can and has affected traffic but that is fine with me. The internet is allegedly about freedom.Well it isn’t but that is open for discussion elsewhere.

Freedom to be a douchebag must have equal footing with freedom to choose not to be aligned with said douchebags.
