There aren't any rights in a forum. The forum is private controlled by Pelican. It's in there best interest to keep as many people happy as possible. They didn't boot him until he threated violence which isn't protected under the first amendment either. The goverment didn't throw him in jail (which is what it protects against). Many people confuse "free speech" with being able to say whatever you want with out consequences.. not the same. The public has a right to react to comments just as much as someone does to say them.
