Um, maybe you want to re-think that

As I understand it, people can be banned from Greek Chat; it's not an entirely public forum. It's also not an agent of any form of government. SO, restricting your speech on Greek Chat is not a Constitutional issue.

You aren't entitled to use someone else's platform to express your opinion. (and, those sort of offensive posts that you mention, ARE protected by the Constitution, except for some rare exceptions like "fighting words," "imminent threat," etc. Congress can make no law that abridges your right to say racist or sexist things, but that still doesn't mean you get to do it on Greek Chat)

You also may want to check your understanding of libel. Qualifying something as your opinion wouldn't be a solid defense.

Anyhoo, what the point of posting answers that, in addition to being unhelpful (as, I confess, many of mine are), are insulting to the person asking for help?
