That is what I said earlier. Free republic is a forum or at least is should be. Who Jim can ban is the question at hand. People that are disruptive are not allowed on any type of forum which means Jim would have that right to ban them.
Thats right and Facebook is a forum so no need to apply libel laws to it. If thats what you said then I misunderstood.
I think Facebooks problem is that in order to be free of libel issues it cannot act as an editor. But when it removes content it is acting as an editor. They want it both ways. That is why they are lobbying for government intervention. Ironically most Freepers now want the same thing as Facebook which are government regulations.
When has government regulations of speech ever helped conservatives? Campaign finance? Fairness Doctrine? PBS? FCC? FTC? The left is the party of government anything that gives the government more power strengthens leftists.
