"This country was founded on freedom of speech. "
That's great. What does the founding of this country have to do with a private website?
" I was banned for voicing my opinion to another poster. "
What is the ripoff? It's their website. They can choose to ban anyone from it for any reason. You are free to start your own website and voice your opinion til the cows come home. Isn't this a great country? (Actually, it's the Internet and not a country, but I'll humor you).
