[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1147941, member: 43436"] I agree with you completely on this. The First Amendment applies toward government-censored speech in public forums (with some limitation); it does not apply toward private party censored speech in private forums. In another thread I participated on late last week, a poster brought up that UPS had asked its employees not to discuss the pending contract on company time and the majority of responses were 'the FA protects free speech, threaten to sue UPS.' Using the same logic, it would be implied that it's perfectly acceptable for a uniformed UPS driver to tell a consumer 'UPS sucks ... it's a horrible place to work ... switch to FedEx." Private forums have a right to censor behavior; the Constitution does not, and was never intended to, protect against this. [/QUOTE]
