text: You have said before that your First Amendment rights are being violated by censorship in this format. As I have also said this is a privately owned space. If this space was public, you wouldn't have to pay to post.  
  Taking it further, if we were really seeking free speech here, shouldn't this space be free to the public? Isn't this a kind of "free speech" gated community?
  
  You wrote some time ago that you post anonymously in the spirit of Benjamin Franklin. I suggest that if you wish to express your opinion uncensored, then write your own publication like Franklin did. He certainly was a good writer with many ideas. You too can become a Franklin in our times. If you do go this route, please let us know. I would like a copy.
  
  For me, Civil Comments is working pretty well. I like the egalitarian idea of reviewing each others comments. It's peer review and that is fine with me.
