Because they always devolve into flame wars. No exceptions.

4. Don't give me that Bungie quote that says "You have no rights", Bungie is a US based company. We do have rights.
Not so. It's their website, so they can set whatever rules they like and ban you for no reason should they wish to. They STILL have to abide by rules themselves. What do you think would happen if they put dirty pictures of children on their site? They would go to jail.
They have rules they have to follow. Their rules do not come before the US governments rules(the country in which they formed).
OK. But let's say I own a house, you want to come into my house, I will only let you in my house if you promise not to talk about religion and sign an agreement that says the same. You talk about religion and I kick you out. What laws have I violated? None, if it's your house. But, this is a PUBLIC place. Anyone can go to it. It's like a restaurant, because it's public they can't set forth such policies. Sure, they own the restaurant, but they're making it available to EVERYONE, thus can not create rules that go against certain rights.
I do like your response though, it makes for good debate.
