1st amendment

[Patrick]

There seems to be an attack on our 1st amendment, even here.

In defense of the admin staff - they are under no obligation to observe the 1st Amendment. You can think of the forums as a newspaper - the publisher decides what kind of speech is allowed. I do give them credit that they use a very light hand and mostly let us go.

[The emperor has no clothes]

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."


You would think after decades of life one would know what the 1st Amendment is.

Hint : (there is nothing in there about motorcycle forums)

I understand. It was mentioned kinda sorta in jest due to the recent locked threads.
