Actually, the Freedom of Speech you mention (in the First Amendment) refers to government intervention and the curtailment of free speech. It has no bearing on a private site like this. We all have the PRIVILEGE of posting here but no RIGHTS to post. We are guests.
That being said, the other thread did not get closed because the subject matter was Cody Cummings, but because the thread itself got out of hand.
Now I am in NO WAY even remotely a fan of Cody Cummings (and quite frankly I wish he would just disappear and I can't figure out WHY he's still so popular) but I find it hard to believe HE wrote this post. Its been around for awhile (it didn't originate on PWL) and people bring it back up every so often as though its something new. There's also an anti-gay post that pops up with some frequency on forums and has alternately been credited to multiple
Sean Cody models. The post is exactly the same each time with only the signature changing. I bring this up because I think its wise to be skeptical when one of these rears its ugly head. Am I saying that Cody Cummings wouldn't say these things? No. I have no idea what he thinks, but it is far MORE likely that someone posted this to discredit him rather than Cody Cummings himself biting the hand that feeds him.
If he tweets it, thats one thing, but why would he post it on a public forum like that? It doesn't pass the smell test and again, its not NEW. That post has been bouncing around for at least a year. Why would HE just cut and paste it everywhere?
