I'd be a lot more impressed about your supposed concern about my right to free speech and freedom of expression if you would give one concrete example of how you purport to have been wronged and were acting with a little bit of maturity and respect. For what it's worth, if BigBadWulf had it in for you and wanted to make an example of you that would have been posted in the thread rather than a PM.
Speaking of people's rights, did you ask BBW if you could post what was sent to you in a PM into the general thread?
