Be the bigger man and invite eims, Ground Zero and even your archenemy Tech Master back here. They all have the right to post their opinions, no matter how much you disagree with the message or approach. Banning, censoring, its all the same. Its the suppression of free thought in a democratic society. Not a Democratic society (I know how much you would enjoy that idea!)

"Again, some have been banned not solely on my action, but by popular request." ALL bans are solely by your action. There is NOTHING in the header to indicate that the moderation is being carried out by popular vote. Leaving aside the fact that such might be disgusting...I have not seen any "open" analysis of the "popular request"?? I don't pretend you have any responsibility to be fair. A moderated thread is not a democratic one. But let us not pretend that democracy is the criterion unless you wish to justify it openly to the people...
