5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.

They usually have no use for the 1st Amendment, other than to cling to the free exercise clause as a pretext for compelling others to worship as conservative Christians see fit.
