...traders have the right to sell their wares and claim that they're "the best", unsatisfied consumers have the right to point out that "they're not".

WRONG! You cannot come all out and say "this is the best". That's why Carlsburg use the phrase "probably the best". You cannot lie in advertising without breaking laws. Unles you can systematicaly prove it's the best, you can't say it's the best.
I may not have studied law but I have studied business, so I know that I'm right on that front. As for opinion being legal exemption... well, I was only using common sence, but I'd be appauled if just three words (IMO) exempt you from defemation of character.

Also, it's fine to say "The spice girls are the best band in the world in my opinion" ... It's an opinion, not a fact, which means it's only true to one person, the person who holds that opinion. It's only wrong if you present opinion as fact.

...I'll give you that one. Opinions need to be stated as opinions. As long as people recognise they're ONLY opinions, there's no problem.

you do not have the right to go everywhere and do everything without being offended by something, as what's considered "offensive" is relative, and it would therefore be impossible to meet up to everyone's standards. But you DO have the right to go everywhere and do everything without being personally insulted.

Again, I won't actualy argue this statement since it's a pretty good one to make. However, I was more dealing with censorship as a way of stopping young ones from finding really... inapropriate things. Let's face it, OWI make games and this is a fan-forum. One must assume kids will be likely to read this. I believe profanity shouldn't be used... at all, really. But even treating this as other media, you need to crub your text to acceptable levels. (There is a word filter, after all... even if it is surprisingly easy to subvert.)
