But you're just being silly if you think Freedom of Speech implies you have the right to post whatever you feel like on a commercial website and think they wouldn't dare edit your comments, even if it was adverse to the very business who owns the website.

If you think that Amazon editing your comments is a free speech issue then I'm certain you wouldn't delete a post on your MySpace or Facebook page advertizing a local massage parlor, because even though you own the page, the writer does not want you edit their content. You'd be violating the free speech rights of that poster just like you feel Amazon is violating your free speech rights.
No need for name calling. If I were to post a review on Amazon's website and they edited it and I felt I had not violated their policies, I would complain and delete my review, which is in line with my statement:

That said, I would prefer they contact me or not post the review at all rather than change what I've written.
