<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 3226664, member: 59677&quot;]Not even close... like so many you confuse rights with privileges and options.</p><p><br /></p><p>A right is &quot;n. an entitlement to something, whether to concepts like justice and due process or to ownership of property or some interest in property, real or personal. These rights include: various freedoms; protection against interference with enjoyment of life and property; civil rights enjoyed by citizens such as voting and access to the courts; natural rights accepted by civilized societies; human rights to protect people throughout the world from terror, torture, barbaric practices and deprivation of civil rights and profit from their labor; and such U.S. constitutional guarantees as the right to freedoms of speech, press, religion, assembly and petition.&quot; (<a href="https://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1857" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1857" rel="nofollow">https://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1857</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p>You are not entitled to post on somebody&#039;s private site, even if it is made available to the public (read the terms and conditions you agreed with when you created your account).</p><p><br /></p><p>Posting on the PCGS board (or here for that matter) is a privilege extended to you by the owners of said board. It can be revoked for any or no reason. If you PAID for said privledge, you might have a contractual right to continue or for a refund. You didn&#039;t pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Options are something you have in a capitalistic society (and in several other societal forms, sometimes with more restrictions). You have the option to take your money, your opinions and your body parts and go elsewhere. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That is a commercial issue. I think you are correct, that allowing a level of inteligent discourse related to their service and/or about their successes and failures would allow them to improve upon their services. But they don&#039;t have to allow anything but rah rah fanboy posts.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you caught any of the threads that led to the bans, or read any of the side posts that referenced them, well, intelligent and related were not part.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
