Freedom of speech is among one of the top things this forum will protect for its members. If it is not obvious how it breaks the rules, it is up to the person offended by the post to PROVE how it breaks the rules. The Administration will not censor due to hurt 'fweelings'. Bring it up with ALL administration. Going around the decision of one admin with another or just reporting it to one WILL have any decisions made after rescinded and punishment applied. However, despite this freedom of speech is NOT an excuse to act like an ass. Once can have an unpopular or offensive opinion without being an ass about it.
