My email isn't public and i do not own it, rodbuilding.org is for the
public Rod Builder, one doesn't need a password.

You're kind of new to this Web and 'Net stuff, right?

Web is all private property. Just like someone's home or office. And
they can say what they will and will not allow there.

Should his users decide they don't want to play by his rules, he can
do anything he likes to censor them or remove them (electronically.
Physical removal from the world is under different laws.).

Disneyland is open to the public, but the public can't run around
advertising Warner Brothers items. Try selling some Warner Brothers
items sometime at Disneyland. Watch / feel the censorship happen
Notice how quickly the property line approaches and you find yourself
outside it. Possibly being charged with disorderly conduct or
something other thing that'll get the police to help them move you
along.

The 'Net is more truly public. On someone's Web page I probably
couldn't say, "**** you." On many 'public' Web pages, that would be
removed and very likely my use privileges would be, too. On the 'Net
I generally can say that. Of course whoever I say it to on the 'Net
can come back with things I'm far to ladylike to type. Or the whole
newsgroup could turn on me (I've seen it happen. Sometimes been
amused and sometimes saddened when it does.). But I'd be free to say
it.

Read the news.newusers group. Really.
