Boards is a private site . I was prevented from expressing my opinion which was put across in a respectful manner . How is this democratic or acceptable

You've just answered your own question: privately owned = they can put whatever rules they like about what you can and can't say in place.
There's no free speech on Boards and never has been.

Posting PM's without permission isn't allowed (with an exception for DRP), but I'll give my permission on this occasion.
There is no freedom of speech on boards.ie. There never was and no-one ever said there was. Nor is it a democracy.

I have removed 2 of the PM conversations quoted in the OP as A|FAIK you have not asked permission of the sender to post those PMs
As you have been told this is a private website. You have a separate thread in Help Desk. I'm closing this one
