Ironic, given that he is the one that lashed in the first place to get reported.

How is it that you got as far as you did in your (probably public school) education and never actually learned the Bill of Rights?
We donât have unlimited freedom to speak without consequences for our behavior and a companyâs right to regulate speech on their own platform is essentially unlimited.
What you have is LIMITED freedom from government censorship of speech and even that is not absolute. You can still be prosecuted for creating a public nuisance for standing on a street corner and screaming obscenities, for instance, and youâre not allowed to make verbal threats (pretty much of any kind).
G-d, some peopleâŠ

Who cares? Like, really?
I got a forum ban from writing four asterisks in a row before. Thatâs where weâre at right now.
oh dear you stay away from there!
We do, lot of us just donât broadcast it. Idc either way.
That was not me!
Well this escalated.
Good. Because âmaskedâ profanity is still profanity in the Terms of Use.
Iâm glad to see that Blizzard is finally enforcing their rules.
To be honest, the biggest problem with the rules before was the lack of enforcement which gave people the false impression that any execrable behavior was okay.
Blizzard loudly and publicly notified the community that this was going to change.
Now we see a lot of whining about âOh, but I didnât get a warningâ or âOh, they never enforced these rules beforeâ or (my favorite) âThe new rules are unfairâ (because the rules havenât changed since 2004 - only the modes of enforcing them).

How is it that Americans understand their constitution so little?
The First Amendment protects only from government, its agencies, or related services from unreasonable infringement upon a citizen of the United States within the borders of the United States.
In the case of Blizzard applying a terms of service which restricts your language, the first amendment doesnât apply. You would be governed by laws which protect citizens from attacks, libel, and mischief. You are clearly on their or using their property and services. In the U.S. especially the law considers the owner to have clear rights over the customer.
Blizzard also has to comply with international laws that the United States has signed for you on your behalf as a citizen, which means that they also need to comply in some cases with speech laws in other countries. In Canada for example hate speech is not considered a protected form of expression. You can go to jail in Canada for such things as extreme holocaust denial if Iâm not mistaken.
