It seems I can delete my own posts at will in the Discussion Forum, but not in the Free Forum.

Could someone clarify how this works?

Ability to delete posts was disabled less than a year ago to prevent authors from deleting their own threads or informative posts simply because they had a change of heart (which seemed to be occurring a lot).

This is basically a security measure to prevent loss of productive/critical content. Due to a sluggish server (at times), this has had a byproduct of non-patient users creating multiple posts from re-clicks, but it's hardly a price to pay in exchange until the newer web system/forums are ready.
