One last question... if this is the gold standard the mods use to determine whether a post crosses the line, why would anybody ever get banned?
People get banned for a variety of reasons, Jim can track the ip addresses of trolls, blantant lib trolls, retreads, anti-freepers, etc. We don't ban people for their idology, unless it's a liberal viewpoint. The conservative movement isn't black and white, it's a wide spectrum of people, and we try to imbrace them all. Some are too far right, some are too far left, and we try to balance the remander. The bottom line is, there is no 'standard', and we'll do what we do to keep FR the premium forum on the internet. Sure we make errors, and try to correct them. With 1/4 million posters, we're going to make errors.
