I knew the racists would come out swinging over this. When you join a group and agree to abide by their RULES, you give up your free speech rights.

Like this site has RULES, if I type certain words in a certain order I will violate those rules and can get kicked off.

But you probably already knew this the last million times you were here.

Seriously, enjoy your stay over and over and over...
