Okay, this is my last bit of pedentry, because i'm starting to sound like i agree with Wfi, when i'm completely in favour of them being disbanded. However...
Does freedom of speech actually extend to having the right to write whatever you choose on someone else's webpage? Isn't that like demanding a publisher add a footnote to someone else's book.
Likewise, they don't have the right to cancel out livejournal accounts, and take us off the net. But, annoyingly and technically, they didn't. The requested that livejournal do that. And livejournal made the choice. Which they actually do have the right to do. It sucks major balls that they've done this, but they don't actually Have to host anything on their website that they don't want to. And it is their website.
So i don't think that freedom of speech is being vioalted here.
