From the header:
I got a question: WHY is it the left is unable to run a thread without a ban list a mile long and we have no such problems? If you name call, you insult yourself and people quickly learn to discount what you say. If you insult, the same thing happens. If you present reason and logic, you convince.

Is this the problem?

Our one ban: redfish. He started a thread whose sole purpose was to ban regulars from this thread. He's been told he will be unbanned here when his ban list is empty.


Yes? We eagerly await your alleged answers.

Laz's issue with banning is with tyranny over the speech of the general posting public at large ... at least as I understand it. He may of course correct me if that isn't true. For that reason he has been willing to sponsor your comments, mine and others that he may disagree with while standing up to quite a bit of abuse, rather than simply banning it away from him. I find that commendable, don't you?
