Does PPRuNE permit FREE SPEECH?
Is it permissible to discuss Golden Eagle Pilot (Mr Crellin, the con man) on PPRuNe or not?
straight answer....can we discuss him and his antics without being banned by pprune towers?
PS. Will I be banned for asking such a question?

All properly run forums are moderated, and can remove posts that are libellous or slanderous or defamatory.
"Free speech" is not a licence to make untrue statements that cannot be backed by evidence and proof.
If you make a statement about another person on an Internet forum, this is no different to making that statement in print, on radio or TV, or in a public speech.
If you make such a statement declaring a named person to be of doubtful character - or that named person is guilty of chargeable offences and hasn't been charged - then you had better be very well-prepared to back your public statements in a court of law.
