It was a private site, not commercial, so I don't see how the dealers chould have any influence over "freedom of speech." If I was running a non-commercial site and my visitors wanted to discuss the good/bad/ugly of the construction and the prices they paid, I'd let them go for it, as long as they weren't defaming the character of the manufacturer or dealer. Stating simple facts like "my boat is only one year old and the cabin door screws fell out" is a perfectly legit discussion. Stating that you paid $x for a particular model of boat is also a perfectly legit discussion. I sure wouldn't let a dealer push me around because someone complained about the price he was charging. I believe the law is on my side, not the manufacturer's or dealer's. Go look at the thousands of sites specific to a particular make/model of car. Although most are moderated, the manufacturers and dealers take it on the chin and have no place to hide. Their only response is to build a better product that doesn't raise so many complaints. --- In <a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=ZIMbW1PfJrJ8hCTaBbVTz1fE-aqWr-7qbEaCx-AGxjkhSn4oLF9NxnFH8-fDxKTVhfKMTGj945Azxgzbe2d1vT8">[email protected]</a>, "Dominick Fasulo Jr." <mim019@...> wrote: > > I've heard about that site.
