Free speech often misunderstood

Posted by mls-stl on June 27, 2012 at 15:45:16:
There is no guarantee of free speech on privately owned web sites. No different than a newspaper refusing to print the letter you send them or a radio station not putting a caller on the air.

The US constitutional guarantee is in the Bill of Rights, and it only states that there will be no public law prohibiting free speech. That's got nothing to do with what private individuals and businesses have to permit.

Now that we have that out of the way, I've never spent much time at AK. However, it should be pretty obvious that some special interest web sites are a better fit than others for each individual. Don't waste your time on those that don't work for you. Trying to get the others to change to your liking is tilting at windmills.
