Laz has banned me twice from this thread. What is commendable about that? If I abused Laz, I'd like to see what he considered abuse. I have been called names by many that post here on this board. I take it all in good fun. If you want a good and open discussion then you have to ban the ban. Even the temporary ban, which still stifles the conversation and obstructs the stated goal of free speech. As for other's banning on their threads I disagree with that policy as well. But most of the threads are pretty specific about their posting guidelines. The threads that have heavy banning policies do not interest me. Those that are run by jlallen and Souix Pal do not get many posts from me, if any at all. The exception might be when someone directs me to a post there. I avoid the heavily banned threads, regardless of the political bent. The difference with Laz is that he says he is against the ban...then he bans. That is pure hypocrisy. Orca
