Do you agree with Fierce Allegiance and Fair Opinion being banned?
Generally speaking, if someone’s opinion is censored it says more about the one doing the censoring than the person being censored.
If I am correct, and Conservatism and limited Government is the right path for our nation, than we should be able to win people over by virtue of our lucid logical argument. Banning people with differing opinions is just weak.*
*Jim, I will vote for whoever you tell me to. Please don’t ban me. I love it here.
I don’t know the circumstances of the FA ban.
I was “at” the FO ban. I would not have banned her, but I’m not the “banning” type except for trolls who join up just to post offensive stuff. I also wouldn’t have banned her simply for her comment that day, because in isolation I would have (naively) accepted that it was all just a mistake, that she just trusted the wrong web site.
But because she had just done the “Fred is a mormon” thing, insisting on continuing it even after several posters noted her mistake, I do understand why FO was banned.
So my opinion isn’t that helpful, since I’m not “supportive” of banning in general. I’m not arguing against the bans though — the only person I petitioned for was Peach, and that is in her hands now.
