I don't mind if a Nazi posts
I do. SI's local Nazi Party rep is on the list permanent bannees. If he comes in the door, I leave.

Different people have different ideas about the point of moderated threads.
I'd say this has been a pretty good thread overall. The level of idiocy and disruption have never gotten outrageous. Forays in thaqt direction have been short. I'd like to keep it that way. And I regard TP as a carrier of both.

I wouldn't toss anyone off who wasn't wrecking the thread.
