Care to actually define what damn close is..

CD is one of the largest forums on the internet... Is CD damn close enough to be a utility that their TOS and private status be rescinded?

Damn close isn't enough.... And no.. I don't think they are damn close. A lot people do not think so.

He violated the TOS and was handled accordingly, what's so hard to grasp about that? Ever see signs that say No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service? Are they discriminating?

This isn't rocket science.

This isn't a first amendment issue...

1st amendment protects you from government censorship. You tube is private entity.

It would be a violation of their rights to force them to provide services against their wishes.

Lol.....CD political forum is nowhere near the platform of YouTube.

It's a literal drop in the internet ocean.

So what happened to the conservatives who said private businesses should be able to pick and choose who they serve?

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, FatBob. The saw cuts both ways. The irony in your post is, you don't see that you're pointing the finger right back at yourself.

What about business (and Individual) rights is NOT a conservative view? Claiming that a private entity does not have the right to not extend services against their wishes, beliefs is actually a liberal stance..

It doesn't have to be a first amendment violation in a legal sense to be wrong.
