Is it appropriate for RallyPoint from a 1st Amendment perspective to "Disable Comments"?

This linked discussion caught my attention:
When I say the language - "Comments Disabled".

I suspect the "thought police" of RP will shut down this question, but lets give it a go and see what happens.

So, I will asked the question anyway...................

Perhaps the comments were disabled simply because the Sweepstake ended. Comments were not removed, the thread was not removed.

Correct. There is no suppression of comments or anything of the like. When a sweepstakes is over, the thread is locked.

I Can't Get Back Into Rally Point. I Guess I Was Given An Account At "GMail",

I'm a bit confused Rick. You're not using your account right now?

Are you saying that you are logging in using saved credentials, but that you can't access those saved credentials and no longer have access to the email associated with your account? It that's the case, why not change* the email address to something you do have access to?

It not, you'll have to walk more through the issue.

The first amendment only covers what Congress can do:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of"

As far as I know, RP is not part of Congress, so they can do whatever the hell they want. It is their site.
