Let me tell you something about Former Lurker. It's not his wacky opinions that got him banned, it was his tactics. FL had a habit of posting avalanches links to quack science, and he took any criticism of his so-called "evidence" very personally. He called people liars and un-patriotic, he would start FReepmailing his critics, and then would ping the Admin Moderators when his very thin skin was penetrated.

His anti-vaccination/anti-fluoridation was like a religion with him; if you disagreed, there was something wrong with you. He was one of the most intolerant of any FReeper. He was the old Soviet Union or Nazi Germany in the way he couldn't stand any disagreement.

I didn't see all of the FL posts, although I had read some concerning the smallpox. I never saw anything out of line or nasty.

What I don't understand though is I've seen some really nasty, hateful posters who are horribly intolerant and call people all kinds of names, yet they don't get banned. A couple of them are down-right nuts in my opinion. Why those people don't get banned, I'll never figure out.
