He is talking about EULA and is correct.
Sony was sued .
This would not fall under that as you could be kicked for any reason- But he is right, a EULA is not enforcable in a court of law.
I do not see any difference with a Terms of Service on a message board. But that would be up to the Supreme Court to decide. As of yet, I don't think it has ruled on the matter.
I promise you when you get banned again, you wont be able to fight it.
I don't think anyone is arguing that we should be able to speak beyond what the T&C allows, but the "whatever deemed offensive" under 21b part is where things get murky in times like this.
2917.31 Inducing panic. (A) No person shall cause the evacuation of any public place, or otherwise cause serious public inconvenience or alarm, by doing any of the following: (1) Initiating or circulating a report or warning of an alleged or impending fire, explosion, crime, or other catastrophe, knowing that such report or warning is false;*

Look it up yourself if you are that ignorant. Usually we provide links here. I didnt know I had to provide a link equivalent to proving its illegal to run a red light
Yeah, an obscure law is super commonly known... just like how it's really commonly known that WTC7 fell down at freefall speed due to gravity!

Again, your gun wouldnt stop the government from doing anything. I cant believe I have to repeat this. Either the military is against you in this scenario, and you lose. Or the military is with you and your gun is useless because the military is on your side anyways.
EITHER WAY... The gun is USELESS

You are correwct- But it would be wonderful for the Lulz effect alone to see the US Supreme Court rule on ATS kicking someone for violating the TOS... In fact, it would be epic.
Kickstarter anyone? I want to read the ruling and have the Judges have to talk in legalese about the Grandpa having baphomet signs lol.

Druid: this is more for the gentleman you were replying to, but I didn't wanna have the long quote in my reply...
BKnapple: Druid42 is one of the most intelligent and well grounded people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting on this site, I have debated him a few times, and come very close to losing to him as well, he does his homework and will not comment unless he is at least pretty sure he's correct, and very quick to admit if he is wrong. I have learned to cut him a bit of slack, and he has never been so off the wall with his suppositions. Just a personal note on Druid, as I think that you took him entirely the wrong way.

I believe in free speech enough I'd be willing to do it. And I'm pretty sure they'd lose. Just like the claim that ammo isn't covered by the 2nd amendment. Just because the internet wasn't invented when the constitution was written doesn't mean it didn't cover it as well! The constitution is wide sweeping.

Your CIA handler decided that the people of ATS should shut up about the massacre and thus summoned you to do the job?

Free Speech has nothing to do with Private Property... Hell, even in Public we have "Free Speech" Zones. So if we cannot protest and use our Free Speech in Public, how is any Court going to rule in favor of a website not kicking someone for any reason?
