CG's tirade was not born of any political motivation whatsoever to bring GWB down in order to pump someone else up, which is offensive here. Banning him for stridently supporting his interpretation of the views of the Pope is another example of bias, and yes, I've seen enough of it.
I've contributed to various forums here for a long time. Perhaps my greatest contributions were explaining the flurry of legal issues and decisions during the 2000 election debacle. I've seen reports of anti-Catholic bigots like one_particular_harbour being selected to provide legal services for FR-related organizations, and yes, I've seen the bias in forum selection.
Maybe I will turn the other cheek, but maybe not. All I can say is if GWB ran this site, CatholicGuy wouldn't be banned. Banning people like CG does the conservative movement far more damage than good.
