I too am a bit disappointed at the overall reaction on these topic. As a Protest Warrior Leader, I have attended rallies and fought side by side with Freepers during many counter protest events. I'm somewhat ashamed by the initial response one of our members received by not one freeper in particular, but the group sentiment. A troll, at least in netiquette terms is a serious charge (as apparent here) and hypewrd was not guilty of the initial claim (and especially being labeled "liberal"). Admins need to review and reinstate his account and then think about their policy on censorship in these forums.

Admin, You cannot strengthen your arguments without debate and promoting the first amendment while yourselves censoring speech is slightly hypocritical. Your members have proven their strength in ideology by my side many times at counter protests, why not let them flex their muscle here? Trolls, though an easy shot, represent much of what we encounter on the streets. I would say that you share many of the values of our liberal education system here... sheltering members, limiting speech, while "talking the talk", but even that is too much of a low blow.
