Markus - you misunderstand.

The first amendment guarantees the right of free speech. Yet it does not mean that you can say anything anywhere. It means you are protected from GOVERMENT oppression trying to "shut you up". The Constitution - and its amenments - apply to the rights the people have that the GOVERNMENT cannot infringe upon. They do not apply to how individuals interact between each other.

Let me provide another example. The Constitution protects against "unreasonable search and seizure" - so the cops are not supposed to be able to come snatch you "just because". They have to have legal reason to do so. Now - that protects you from the GOVERNMENT seizing you and tossing you out of a public area, for example. However, if your on private property - the OWNER of the property has every right to toss you off his land if he wants - he doesn't have to have a reason at all. See the difference?

Because subsim.com is not a governmental entity, the 1st does not guarantee anyone the right to be here and communicate without interference. It says the GOVERNMENT cannot interfere - it can't come in and shut subsim.com down for example simply because they didn't like what was found here (they could - but then Neal could sue the bejesus out of em for it ). However, Neal - as the owner of the site - can set rules that are MORE restrictive than anything the government could legally place - because it is his "property".

I hope this makes the difference clear for you.
