It don't say they can't fire you.
The law doesn't apply to them, so therefore obeying it is irrelevant. You keep saying that you understand this, and yet you keep posting the exact same thing. What you're saying amounts to exactly, "Wouldn't it be nice if everyone respected people's right to say whatever they want, even though they don't actually have to?"

Well, they don't have to.

This site can not tell me to not call you a spear-chucking nigger. So far as I know, I can call you that all I want (and if that falls under hate speech, then you have my support in calling it unconstitutional). But that doesn't mean that the company that owns this site has to host the bits and bytes that make up "spear-chucking nigger". To say that they do would be taking control of their property (or whatever their domain space is legally considered) away from them.

Obviously you understand this, so why you keep making an issue of it, as if it being "spiritually unconstitutional", or whatever, somehow makes it a lesser degree of unconstitutional, I do not know.
