How dare they!

But to get to my main point, only registered users can give Kudos is that right? If I am wrong READ NO FURTHER!

YOU ARE HERE: Perhaps community minded registered users could make a more concerted effort to +1 constructive ideas?

Just a thought... If you are referring to Freedom of Speech as it was set out by the Constitution of The United States and interpreted by the US Supreme Court, then the protection only extends on Federal and State Governmental entities infringing on your right of free speech and association, and that speech is usually associated with dissent against the government, its policies, or those who hold a public office. Private entities are under no such obligations and may limit speech however they see fit.

Government is even allowed to make laws about the speech which can be used towards a private individual, hence the existence of Slander and Libel laws.
