Tee hee.
Expressing your opinion isn't an entitlement. This is a corporately owned and run forum, and you have no "rights" here. This medium for your expression is a gift from the nice people at LitNLat.
Your freedom of expression as provided in the constitutions of several developed countries, actually only allows you to go set up your own website and host your opinions there. It doesn't require others to host them for you. Even then there are restrictions. The European Convention on Human Rights (which is the prevailing legislation for LitNLat's home country) restricts said freedom (see Article 10) in several ways. Protection of the reputation of others springs to mind here which would legally allow a company to prevent you from expressing opinions if they happened to be completely Wacko.
From a legal standpoint, LitNLat could delete your posts, cancel your forum membership and ban your email address and IP from signing up again. I can't imagine LitNLat ever taking these steps (the most I've ever seen them do is lock a thread - not delete, mind, just lock it). But you should bear in mind that the nice thing to do is always act on the internet as if you are a guest in someone's house. Because right now, you are.
Why would you ever want to give someone feedback where you were "expecting a backlash"? Why did that not give you pause for thought? If you don't care if others agree with your opinions why would you ever share them?
