<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 334878, member: 4626"]This person makes an excellent point. I've been to many boards where people assume they have some God-given right to post whatever they want regardless of what rules the owners of the board set. Free speech only applies to <i>public</i> venues, not <i>privately</i> own message boards. I've seen so many people decide they want to constantly bash the owners of the board then get indignant when told to stop, as if the owners were required to put up with it for some reason. If someone comes into my house and contantly insults me, I'm going to kick them out, and if they refuse to leave, I'm calling the cops. I'm not required to put up with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now PCGS may not want to get a reputation of trying to quash all dissent when people raise legitimate issues on their boards, but there is a reasonable limit to how much they should be expected to put up with. It is a board owned and operated by PCGS after all, and if people don't like it, they're free to go to other message boards or create their own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
