We can make a rule that says you have to type only in rhyming couplets or we permaban you, and that has literally nothing to do with free speech.

There, easy peasy.

The arbitration surrounding the upholding of forum rules in reference to free speech supersedes the distinctions you're trying to make here devo. The cool people funnygurl is referring to would agree unanimously.
