This is a hard one, Tastes. That is indeed an evil little piece of scum that wouldn't hesitate to silence anybody not obeying the rules it sets up, given the power to do so.

And you're right, it's not about First Amendment rights - they belong here to SI.
We're on private property and they can run it as they choose.

It's a personal decision to vote yes or no, that's all. Having by some incompletely thought-out sort of principle never called for anybody's termination before, I find it hard to do so now. But I'll think about it.

The one thing I've reported to SI Bob has been threats - physical threats or the posting of a poster's identity and location, which amounts to the same thing. This little crossburner would be a threat if it had any power, but it's hard to see how it would gain any power here. Also it never quite spells out the threat, it is skilled in the use of codewords and tends to employ some weird concept of Christ as a 'freedom of religion' shield. Very cunning. But a clear and present threat? - I dunno.

Extremely offensive, no question. I tend to lean to vote yes on your petition, but would like to think about it. Not lightly done. Also - I think you have to consider the effects of booting it - it can then start up somewhere else screaming 'censorship' and gain a wider platform by that. Although - Who cares and what can ya do anyway?? .... I'll think about it ........ salud
