The Constitution gives you the right to say whatever you want to, within limits (e.g. you can't yell "fire!" in a crowded theatre just for fun). But that right applies to public speech, and preventing the government from interferring with that ability. However, this is a
private forum, and reasonable restrictions on tone, behavior and content CAN be enforced. When you participate in this forum, you agree to abide by the "rules of the road" and behave as a reasonable member of this community.
We are all free to disagree with each other, and engage in a reasonable debate. You have an absolute right to your opinion. If you choose to state it clearly, and in a manner than does not violate the standards of decorum, then you are welcome to take advantage of the forum provided by Delphi for such exchanges.
But the standards of behavior here are very clear. If the tone of the messages cross over from a reasonable, articulate debate or constructive criticism into personal attacks, insulting drivel or vituperative bile then you have gone too far. At that point, Delphi has the absolute right to regulate what is posted on their web site in whatever manner they see fit. And the rest of us have the absolute right to ignore whatever we want to.
Remember that what you do here, and what you say here, reflects on you, your team, your school, and your organization. Does the message quoted above, with the phrasing you have used, generate the sort of impression that you want this community to have of you (and your team)? When we all see Team 293 in competition, should your message be the last impression we have in our heads regarding how your team behaves?
