That's your opinion.
Please keep it off lugnet.cad

All i can say is i will continue to exercise freedom of speach.

  Please do so, but understand that Tore is exactly correct in urging you to
direct your postings to their proper groups.  Despite what some may think,
LUGNET is not a homogeneous and publicly-owned forum; it is private
property, and those who post to LUGNET expressly state in doing so that they
recognize and choose to abide by the existing terms of use.  In this case,
Tore has rightly pointed out that your non-LEGO diatribe, while not
inappropriate to the discussion at hand, was entirely inappropriate for the
LUGNET.CAD posting group.  Tore in no way constrained your freedom of
speech.  For that matter, even if you were hypothetically banned from LUGNET
for posting incorrectly to LUGNET.CAD, that still wouldn't be an unlawful
restriction of your free speech, since it would merely be a means of
preventing you from disobeying the guidelines in place in a privately-owned
forum.
  Speak as freely as you wish--I would speculate that nearly all of LUGNET
would support your right to free speech.  But don't pretend your rights have
been infringed just because you posted to the wrong group.

     Dave!
