those being banned are the ones silenced for expressing their opinions. For that they are reviled and banished.

DJ, you have to admit, the past 2 months or so a HUGE amount of FReepers old, new and in between have been zotted or stopped posting due to what secondam says. FReepers have been forced into silence for fear of being abused and zotted if reported to the mods or JR for not towing the line.
Joe, I have no personal knowledge of why posters are banned. I know no more than you do.
