Note that I was talking about retroactive cancelling _an account of
new rules_. Copyright is hardly a new rule.
I'm talking about messages which were legal at the time of posting,
but became contra-T&C due to a change in the T&C.

Yes. They don't ethically have the right to determine what is
"slanderous", IMHO, because it gives them the illusion of taking
sides.

Sure he has the legal right. He has the moral right. I don't think he
has the ethical right, though.
Not sure if ethical is the right word, but if Todd were to start doing
these sorts of things, I'd defend his legal right to do so, of course,
but at the same time I doubt you'd see me here again.
