39. The name of the site is democratic underground

Democratic: of, relating to, or supporting democracy or its principles:

The key role of citizens in a democracy is to participate in public life. Citizens have an obligation to become informed about public issues, to watch carefully how their political leaders and representatives use their powers, and to express their own opinions and interests.

How have I appeared to be against this site, and why does it appear to me you are trying to intimidate me with the language you are using. I haven't tried to do anything outside the terms of service as far as I know. Where is the link to the term of service that says you can't post here if you wish to express your own opinion?
