Bingo. He will no doubt shortly discover that he is no longer welcome at M. Fan & Blog due to my displeasure with him. As such, I have apparently suppressed his speech.

What makes it especially ironic is that being a magazine -- which is part of the media -- The Rake should be advocating free speech, not suppressing it.

What is this all about? Did he call the guy out by name in the editorial?

It's long story. Read the "The Rake-A Warning" thread by AndreyB

I don't remember the details of that story...

Could you help us regarding this matter?

Therefore, throwing someone out of a bar for verbally abusing the staff and banning them, is also suppression of freedom of speech?

And what is the motive behind and intented consequence of ending this deal?

Free speech? I don't understand how they infringed on that at all. They didn't gag order you or anything. You might need to research the law a bit...

Did AndreyB verbally abused the staff at The Rake? Could you provide the evidence, please? I mean this sincerely, as I am not aware that AndreyB have done what you alleged.

No, I'm not saying he did. ...but, he shitbagged the publication and subsequently had his subscription ended. That's not suppression of freedom of speech, its as Mafoo says, its an ending of a client/customer relationship. I think, most people will agree that The Rake acted petulantly, but they didn't suppress his freedom of speech.

What makes you assume I have even a passing interest in your blog?

The Rubinacci connection raised by one reader makes me laugh...

A deja vu on SF?
