Re: So BT blocks certain forum topics - plenty of other places

said by yock See Profile :

As much as I detest the idea of squelching discussion, Internet forums are private property and not bastions of free speech. They have every right to prohibit some topics of conversation if they want.

Besides, BT will incur more negative press from the practice.
Agreed. It's incredibly stupid and stinks of head-in-the-sand management, but it's certainly within the discretion of just about any forum's TOS.
