IMHO I don't think that is the best way to formulate the question, it is not an absolute or philosophical question as much as a practical one. So I would not think this site is open to disruptive posts or posters, look what happens when someone comes on pedaling inappropriate annuities and other commercial products. Freedom of speech does not 'allow shouting fire in a movie theater'. There is a community standard on this moderated board, JWR is a marginal problem but Hocu$ is beyond the pale, actually having disrupted several major internet boards including Motley Fool and the Vanguard diehards site that had to reorganize their moderation to assure functionality.
