I have been on many message boards, and some with posters who attack like JunkYardDog. I can play JunkYardDog too, but how many posters, or those just reading the posts, would like to go through the vitriol of just two posters attacking each other constantly? Not very many.
Anyway, banning is a form of censorship, and truthseeking doesn't allow for censorship. | This site would never ban anyone because of their views on any subject, regardless, as we are very much against censorship of any kind. However we will not tolerate the juvenile disrespect that was being displayed. Repeated trolling offenses will get you banned as they diminish the quality of debate. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- "There is no such thing as laziness.
