My 2 Cents
I usually don't post a lot, because many of the topics are related to Winni and I spend my time on Mirror Lake, but I read many of the posts.
As has been stated by many, Don owns the site, and has the right to do with it whatever he wants. But, I think that there is something else that people should keep in mind. I am pretty sure that the site funds itself through the advertising that is displayed on site. If the tone of conversations turns negative enough, and it makes people self-police themselves by not coming to the forums (as has been stated by many people that do), it may affect the amount that Don can charge for the advertising.
If this were a coffee shop, and the discussions got loud and out of hand, Don would have every right to tell you to tone it down or get out, because your brand of discussions might be harming the overall atmosphere of his business.
There are plenty of un-moderated places on the internet where you can express anything you want.
Just my 2 cents.
