It is absolutely no different than free speech is not a given right while you are employed by someone else. While it is desirable to wrap yourself with constitutional protections, those protections are what you are entitled to when dealing with government. While you are are on someone elses property, employed by others or even posting messages on someone's private forum, you are subject to their rules and their rights. Craig
