Personally, I think banning should be reserved for extreme cases...as far the rest of the fake-conservatives, they should be attacked with honest TRUE conservative rhetoric whenever they show up and start spewing their neo-con, statist and/or facist diatribe.
But hey, that's just my opinion...
I agree about the banning, but some bans have been very quick tempered. One night a young marine was banned for saying Reno investigated Clinton more than Bush did. I thought the ccomment was astute. He was banned for being a liberal. There is sometimes a mob reaction or quick trigger on these threads. All you have to do is have the wrong person cry to the moderator.
