It's a big Internet - there are plenty of places you can go and air your views.  Or you can create your own site.  Meanwhile, reddit has apparently decided they are serving the market of people who want to discuss the subject without the interjections of those who disagree.

Freedom of speech is a property right - you have the right to use your own press, your own soapbox, etc.  Nobody's obligated to provide one.  And some people just want to be left alone in private.  If they do, of course, the rest of us are free to point them out just in case anyone wants to avoid that group.  Maybe that's all you were doing here.
Sure, they're allowed to tell people what to say and not to say on their own site, but it seems pointless to have discussions on discussion-oriented sites like reddit if you tell people what to converse about.
Well not only that but everyone'd miss out on prime stuff like AnnoyMInt's


Hahaha

Stick a fork in that AGW turkey, all d'juice done oozed outta her...
