>>If you're going to boot Sylvestor, you might want to boot a few more of us as well. I personally think that's a great idea!

You understand the difference in the posts when you say, "In my view Sylvestor is often over the top in terms of the tone of his posts and sometimes with respect to the content". That is the exact reason why he is gone. I do not have a problem with his stance or anyone elses. His delivery is offensive. His choice and vehemence of words are offensive. This was not an impromptu decision, he was warned privately just a few days ago.

Well, the fact is I advocate the intentional retribution by the state meted against the guilty, with an understanding that innocent people may die in war. Instead of taking prisoners, we should gut our enemies like trout. When they see their headless sons lined up in the streets, they will be much more reticent to send them against our sons. I also suggest that it is quite reasonable to remain circumspect of muslims until such a time as we can discern the alleged peaceful ones from the apparently ubiquitous murderous ones. After all, the muslims destroyed us precisely by exploiting this lack of distinction. This is my view. It is a valid view and the suggestions are valid for dealing with murderous adherents of Islam - a religion that I think is inherently murderous and in need of modification. It is no racist view. It is a view against the religion in its current form and against many of the savages who follow it. Many heathens here have criticized both Christians and Christianity with at least as much passion as I have employed against Islam and Heathenism. Your problem is that you know the heathens are quite often wrong. I suspect many people do indeed harbor ill-will toward Islam due to the fact that that religion is hostile by any plain reading and requires quite a lot of twisting to become civilized. And as for heathenism, no one can deny that it is flatly because of heathens, and not the people of God, that literal humans are having their skulls punctured and their brains destroyed. You all know I speak precisely the truth - and you simply do not wish to hear it. So you try to dismiss the message by comparing it with Hitler's. It is a fallacious approach, a leftist religion crafted to deal with uncomfortable truths. If you don't like my ideas, you may easily ignore or address them. But claiming they are Hitlerian does nothing at all to prove they are "over the top," as you say of Sly's ideas. I don't spend a whole lot of time directly calling you "repuke POS" or "Monkeys" or the other sorts of persistent and flagrant personal attacks Sly issues. All of us attack here at some point or other. Even when we don't think we attack the fact is our words can easily be interpreted as attacks. But Sly is in a different order, all alone. His posts are so filled with personal attacks that the attacks are essentially the heart of the posts. Few people do this, not even Cyberken does it. I would prefer to let Sly continue foaming at the mouth. The "Next" button still worked fine, the last time I checked. I really don't like censorship of almost any sort. But this is a private venue. If MKTBUZZ wishes to boot someone, that someone is booted and apart from lodging a mild complaint I have little recourse. I should also add that if you think my ideas or delivery is too harsh, I don't give one liddle biddy piece of crap about it. Please put me on ignore and that should be the end of it.
