Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

What part of or prohibiting the free exercise thereof do these pinheads not understand?

The Constitution protects you from the Gubmint .... not from private Condominium Associations.

For a case in point: Ping Admin Moderator, say somthing that he reeeeally does not like and then claim First Amendment Free Speech rights.

Exactly. Groups and private individuals can decide whom they want to hear and whom they want to associate with. The First Amendment only keeps government from imposing restrictions on free speech. People are still free to decide what beliefs to reject and what beliefs to accept.
