I do agree with Glenn D.
Learn to write and spell and then you are free to express yourself in any way you want. This is still a "Free Speech" world, but sometimes we must fight for that right.
Recently two public figures expressed what they wished to say, despite the risk of hurting sensibilities:
1) Jack Straw who said Muslim women should put aside their veils in England and
2) Sir Richard Dannatt, who advised that our troops were not helping the situation any in Iraq and should be brought back. Doesn't this prove we still have Free Speech? And look how many people rushed to agree with them, AFTER these men had the guts to express their opinions!

I guess that you thought wrongly. It is not a free world, and there is no universal right of free speech.
As you are aware, it is possible to offend people by what one says, and in order to avoid that, speech has to be moderate, but that in itself is no prohibition on free speech. The guidelines on fora are a way of ensuring that debate and discussion can proceed in a reasonable way, and without language that may offend or inflame others.
Do you feel a need to offend people, and are looking for some support for this, or are you proposing that we should all be able to say whatever comes into our mind without regard to the consequences or feelings of others?

So you can't post racist propaganda, obscene materials and other material that might have the forum moderators/owners fall foul of the law. Also remember a lot of children must access these sites at times - they need to be protected from damaging materials as well.
'Free speech' does not mean 'license to post anything you like, no matter how offensive to others'.
