There is no censorship on a privately owned website. Furthermore, the 1st Amendment is a restriction upon the government to not infringe upon your free speech rights. It has no bearing on whether a private website owner deletes your post for reason or on a whim.

I made a rebuttal to the post slamming VPW for their prices, stating that I grabbed some relatively inexpensive M37 manuals. It got deleted presumably because it would have orphaned. Oh well, that's the breaks.

On the other hand, I've made a couple of what I thought were clever posts that Joe felt were in bad taste and he deleted them a few months back. I didn't whine, Joe is entirely within his rights as site owner to do that.
