OK, back to whatever irrelevant point you were trying to make above.

I know that too. What then explains the Right and their obsession with calling it a First Amendment free speech issue? You yourself in this very thread have referred to it as censorship and muzzling free speech, both implicating First Amendment free speech provisions.

An analog to your (and other conservatives') free speech claim would be a theater operator kicking out a couple of loudmouth conservatives who simply refuse to stop talking loudly during a feature movie. The (implied) terms of service for entering a movie theater is to keep quiet when the movie is playing. Giving you the boot for being a loudmouth who is harming others' viewing experience isn't a free speech issue nor is it discriminatory to conservatives. It's simply folks unwilling to play by the rules and getting kicked out for it (I guess this jibes with conservatives believing that rules, written or unwritten, simply don't apply to them (Trump being the epitome of this)).
