A brief comment about free speech - I strongly believe in free speech.  It is a fundamental human right.  This is privately owned web-space.  The provider allows me to use and manage this space.  Think of it as my apartment.  I have a right to limit the subject matter of discussion in my home and place rules on the courtesy of my guests.  If you want to participate in a free-for-all, act in an uncouth manner or engage in flaming or heated political discussions, there are plenty of places on the web where this is allowed.  This is not one of them.  Just as I have a right to throw an unruly guest out of my apartment,  I have the same right to limit activity on this site.
