The Constitution does not give us the right to post on a public message board. Freedom of speech was not meant for public message boards. There is also a disclaimer when you apply to get a login for the site that no one ever reads. If your freedom of speech was covered in this forum, you could swear like a sailor with no repurcussion and we all know that can't be done. Your membership on a public forum can be revoked at any time. People use this Constitution disclaimer all the time on the PBA website saying it is their right to be able to post on the forums and rip on players appreance, wives, etc. You want to use your freedom of speech on the internet, start a blog.
While Dale's post might rub some people the wrong way, it is his opinion that cores should not be named. EVERY company names them so if he choses to take exception to Track's names, so be it.
Personally, I did not find much offense to the post and chose to stay out of it. I think the core names help bowlers understand what is inside the ball instead of trying memorize shapes and all the core numbers. They see "Megatron" or "Shuttle" or anything else and can immediately know what is inside.
