Yes, he was well opposed--- primarily by the conservatives on the thread. I was comparing Jeff's behavior in the different instances. I do not think that the slander of ethnic groups is an ordinary political opinion. However, I was prepared to accept Jeff's ruling. It was the juxtaposition of the two things that I dislike. As for the vulgarity, well, I have seen people be very mean without vulgarity, so I do not think that picking on direct insult of that sort makes sense. Additionally, I think that one has to make allowances for loss of temper or different debating standards, or it will chill speech. Yes, sometimes things go overboard. I did not, though, think that JLA deserved a weeks off and the Evil One deserved nothing.......
