QVC is blocking free speech.....

If they don't like what you say, they just don't let you SIGN IN and say it........

C'mon, this isn't Reddit. There should be no expectation of free speech on a privately own, moderated board.

Apparently they let you sign in lodge this free speech complaint.

 

BTW, their board=their rules.

I don't know...they've allowed you to start several threads complaining about the new format, the hosts and QVC in general.

 

If you mean they won't let posters use vulgar or demeaning language or derail threads?  Well, I say about time and "thank you, moderators!"

 

There are a lot of other boards on the Internet; perhaps you could find one you prefer.

Which is, like, totally within their rights on a forum *they* run.

Sounds like this board isn't a good fit for you.  Your thread on pj's was poofed. There are many other forums choices out there for you to join to express your free speech.

Sorry, your constitutional rights are being violated.

Everyone should be able to say whatever they want, regardless of the consequences.

So what, if words can be hurtful or divisive, you're  entitled to your opinion and everyone else is entitled to your opinion, also.

The right of freedom of speech only means that the government cannot interfere with your right to speak.  It has absolutely nothing to do with shopping channels.

Re: QVC is blocking free speech.....

Well I don't come here often but when I have in the past the sote was full of host bashing and QVC bashing.  It appears that it has cut down on the posts and the bashing which is a good thing.  I personally don't shop at QVC much anymore because there are so many other ways to shop online with far better prices but I don't bash QVC
