First, there is no such thing as the "Freedom of Speech Act." Second, what you are probably thinkin of is the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. - if so, I suggest you go read it again, because you certainly indicate an strong misperception. A private forum is certainly free to restrict content that it is paying to host. Third, are you sure the problem was the React and not something else. We have a guy in our R/C Model Warship Combat Club that swears one of the other battlers EMP's his ships when he gets too close due to noisy ESC's. We are always pretty amused by this assertion, but, whatever helps him sleep at night. And, the guy with the "EMP" ship doesn't have to worry about this guy attacking him, so he doesn't complain about being maligned either. I can't count the number of guys who have hooked a 15A rated ESC up to 2 motors that draw close to 100A each at stall, and blame the "crappy esc" when the poor thing dies after being jolted by over 10 times its rated draw. Of course, some of the same guys try to hook the same motors up with Cat5 wiring they had laying around - and wonder why their ship caught fire. Or use the Cat5 to carry servo signals and power, becaues, after all, it is 8 wires and is nice and neat. And they wonder why they get glitches. Granted, people this clueless are few and far between in our hobby, which requires a modicum of tech smarts, but it happens. And, last, calling names and saying something caused damage does nothing to inform people who might be able to help you. If you really want to help people (and, by doing so, get help for yourself), explain what happened, in detail, and why you suspect the equipment you blame. That also allows others to analyse your facts and see if you indeed, have the right explanation or may have missed something. Since we have no details as to what your "problem" was, I have to presume "operator error" for now. Cheers, Wreno
