Free Speech Exceptions -- PCGS protects Free Speech!

There exceptions to the free speech rule. It's NOT absolute. Look up a little CON law on the net.

Yelling "fire" in a movie theater is not protected free speech.

"Fighting words" that are so mean and cruel that a normal person would not be able to restrain themselves -- NOT protected.

Then we have slander, libel, etc.

I think PCGS is exercising it's right to protect free speech, and weed out the "Fighting Words", slanderous statements, and the written libel.

The whole thing is ultra-American, and most of you only look at one side of it, as ususal.

    Besides, they provide the service, so they can make the rules. They would have a much harder time censoring or booting members if it were not owned and controlled by them.

  • It all seems pretty straightforward to me, CU manages the website and they can do what they want. All this talk about them making a big mistake is definitely overdone. For some reason I just don't think their business is going to suffer because of this. While many dealers and collectors both post and lurk, it's business as usual behind the scenes.
