His "contract" with the ISP says they can terminate the "contract" if he violates the TOS - that's part of the "contract" that he agreed to when he signed up. So - no - he can't force an ISP to provide the service, especially if he is in violation of the agreement, which includes the TOS. >>But - yes - you have the >>right to freedom of speech - but I (that's the generic "I" - I am not an >>ISP) am not required to provide you the tools to do it.

How is that different than what I said? Read what I wrote again. I essentially said that, although, yes, he has freedom of speech, ISP's are not required to provide the tools/resources for him to excercise it. To reiterate, if he violates the contract, they can terminate his service. The contract itself says so.

If one stays within the TOS, the ISP is required to continue to provide a forum. Remember what I responded to; it's just above, there. "You can't force an ISP to use their resources to provide you the means to express yourself any more than you can force yourself onto my property to say or do anything that you want.
