Exactly right!

Partypooper - what you have got to remember is this is a FREE forum provided by a COMMERCIAL business and they have every right to protect themselves from any possibility of legal action. If someone was to post something illegal or defamatory it will be the forum operators who are ultimately held responsible - not the poster so you cant blame them from erring on the side of caution.

Maybe you should think of it as being invited into someones home - whilst there you respect their rules even if they are not the same as your own. You don't go into someones home and light up a cigarette if they are non-smokers, etc. If you find you can't abide by their rules then don't go in!
