Why would Bungie not want to house such discussion on their site? It seems that many things worth discussing are thoughtlessly prohibited here. That isn't good policy.
Why and how did you then agree to the conditions of your membership if you thought them incorrect or unacceptable?I wanted to participate here, and to some extent still care to. However, a condition of my participation is not that I have to agree with every rule and regulation of the place.
This isn't unusual. You're an American citizen, and choose to remain one because of the benefits it affords you. I doubt you agree with every US law, though. You might, perhaps, campaign for the laws you dislike to be changed.
You are confusing the public domain with a private domain.
I'm aware of the difference between public and private domains. I'm not sure why you would think that I am not.

This is not a village square, this is private property. It has terms and conditions of entry, and we either agree to those terms or we stay out. If someone doesn't agree with them, but joins anyway, then they are breaching their own personal contract.
Quite false. Nowhere did I consent to agree with every rule of this site. I consented to be bound by those rules. I might use the same analogy as I did above: you don't agree with all US laws, but you probably don't simply ignore the ones you do disagree with.

Just as if you have a house rule that people leave their shoes at the door. If someone is visiting, if they know that and don't plan on complying with the condition, then they are being deceitful and dishonorable when they agree to the terms with no intent of following them or keeping their promise.
Are you that self-centered and selfish that you are able and willing to give your word even when you have no intention of keeping it?
I have not said I will not abide by the rules here. I've merely said that I disagree with some of them. You would save yourself considerable time if you read more closely.
