Freedom of Speech On This Site
Although everyone is urged to express their opinions in the forums, there are rules of decorum and civil behaviour to adhere to when participating in a moderated discussion forum. When you signed up for this service, you agreed to a set of rules outlined in the Terms of Service/User Agreement thereby allowing you to proceed in the registration process, hence it’s assumed you read them.
Take note that nowhere is it stated, nor implied that total freedom of speech exists here, nor is this site considered a constitutional democracy. This site is a privately owned Canadian website for which you have been extended the courtesy to use providing you abide by the agreed upon rules of the website, i.e. the owner’s rules. Much like you have rules for your home when you are entertaining guests, they either abide by them or you ask them to leave - it's no different here.
The site administration reserves the right to remove any threads or postings that are not conducive to civil behaviour/discussion or only serve as to incite forum disruption by knowingly uttering aggressive and unwarranted remarks.
Do take note of the posted rules and please adhere to them - failure to do so, may result in your forum posting rights suspended or your account deleted if non compliance persists. Although the site doesn’t like to resort to these measures, it will if the problem persist. The site does it its utmost to ensure, to the best of its ability, the enjoyment of the forums for the greater population of users.
