Because that moderator has no right to restrict what I choose to say (even about him) on another Internet location. It's called FREE SPEECH.
And I cannot believe anyone (even a staunch CTer) would be defending such an incredibly unfair "rule" as this one which is on the books at EF:
"Any current member who casts aspersions about the Forum and/or its membership—either from within the forum or outside the forum—may lose their posting privileges or indeed be banned."
And keep in mind that the above idiotic rule also applies to merely "casting aspersions" about the FORUM ITSELF (as a whole)! Not JUST about its individual members.
It's mind-bogglingly Unconstitutional.
Bash your employer on Facebook and see what happens.
That's free speech isn't it?
the key is "...expects to come back and post."
Do you think posting is a right? - or a privilege?
You're being allowed to post here, aren't you?
- could you bash the mgmnt here on fb..and expect to post?
