you make the same mistake, spelling errors is not a misconduct, it's is just the ability of someone to write good or bad, it is like kicking a handicapped person of a rpivate restaurant cause he cant walk properly

You are wrong. But, why should we continue. Go pay an attorney to hear the same thing. Yeesh!

You are missing the key phrase in the first amendment. Here it is again:

CONGRESS SHALL PASS NO LAW....

Congress hasn't passed a law keeping you from posting because your spelling is bad. No one has arrested you or attempted to file criminal charges against you. A private web owner is offended by your spelling and so chooses to ban you from their site. There is no law which prevents him from doing this.

what about the law against discrimination?

abridging the freedom of speech, meaning it cannot reduce it in scope, so what is the original scope, can you provide this for me please?

What we're trying to tell you is that "freedom of speech" means your government is prohibited from telling you what you can or cannot say. And that's a very basic definition, because there are even exceptions to that.

It's all about how much authority the governement--not me, or Carl, or Zigner, or the web site owner--has over your rights to free speech.

A person in a wheelchair has a disability and is protected by the ADA from discrimination due solely to the disability.

Bad spelling is not a disability under the ADA. And even if it WAS, posting on that one web site is not going to be seen as a basic right essential to your daily activities.

No, there is no law that restricts private citizens' right to restrict speech in areas that they control (such as their home, their business, or their web site).

I understand that and thank you for your answer, is there a US law that covers private entities and free speech or is there not one?

what about if someone uses the US law against discrimination

I see you C. Hey I'm bringing Pizza to Carl's house next year. We're going to watch the Cowboys together. Better yet, let's all get together at Carl's in two weeks and route for the New Orleans Saints:D. I've got the Pizza and the O'whatever Carl said Em, we are going for the NFC, right???

That's football, right? Isn't there some kind of big deal game coming up sometime soon?

What I know about sports plus one = 1. I could go for some pizza, though.

well that isn't said there explicitly, it just says what government can or cannot do, is there any US law that covers free speech concerning private entities explicitly?
Laws restrict, limit, or prohibit behavior - they do not generally allow it.

The First Amendment - which has been quoted here for your benefit a couple of times - prohibits CONGRESS (i.e. the GOVERNMENT) from restricting your freedom of speech.

In the absence of any law prohibiting private persons from limiting your speech, they can do so whenever and however they wish to do so. No law currently exists mandating that anyone grant you the right to post to a forum. If no law prohibits them from banning you, they can do so.

I think this discussion has run its course. The OP has his answer, he just does not want to hear it.

Anoobis, if you think you have a case, gather your pennies and pay an attorney to offer you the same opinion we just have. Good luck with that.

No I don't need cheerleaders, I make legitimate questions, you need self-assertion though

If I use Wiki for any research paper in my Business school, it is an automatic F!!!

I'm just sayin...;)

I find it to be a good starting point to begin some research, especially when you know little or nothing about the subject.

I've got a paper due this semester. Maybe I'll cite Wikipedia, just to see the reaction.

On second though, maybe not.
