Freedom of speech refers to your right to say whatever you like within certain very specific boundaries. It is a right you have anywhere and everywhere. However, it does not grant you the right to have the speech delivered in any specific format not wholly owned and controlled by you. For instance, nobody can stop you from writing something, printing it and handing it out, or preaching on the street corner. However, a book publisher is under no obligation to print it for you, a radio station is under no obligation to give you air time and an Internet forum is under no obligation to leave posts intact.
I find that people in forums often confuse their rights as being absolute. You do have the right to free speech and nobody can take that away from you. When you are exercising that right in a forum, however, the moderators also have rights. While no one person's rights trump another, you control your speech, they control the method of delivery you would like to use. You are not silenced when they censor or delete your post. You can still speak your mind. But you have the right to free speech, only, not the right to have that speech delivered for you in a particular method or format. The moderators can't stop you from saying what you want and you can't force them to allow you to say it here. Like many Christians these days, those screaming loudest about their rights are often those who understand rights the least.

Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately? Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use. Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel. Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
