Could be? Do we ban people like that or for thoughts we don’t agree with? Honestly, I think I would need to check over the rule book we have - I am not terribly familiar with Freep’s rules. I for one, would not be hasty on banning people... as that often leads to a Pandora’s box. (Hatred towards a group of people is different than opinions on theories, though.)
Besides, I’ve often been the one banned on websites. Have you ever had someone telling you to shut up because you will make Christianity look ignorant? Then site to you a quote from a Pope used to silence Galileo? I have. So, I am hesitant on agreeing to use those methods.
It would be only a matter of time before the evolutionist and theistic evolutionist here asked to ban the creationists for ‘false science’ ;)

Free Republic has its own identity that is dictated in large part by dictating who is and is not allowed to post here. I certainly hope we ban anti-semites and racists, this isn’t supposed to be Stormfront any more than it’s supposed to be Democrat Underground. No one complains when we ban those types. Flat earthers are just another type who don’t belong here, there are flat earth forums out there for those idiots to enjoy, just as there are forums for racists and libtards.
