I agree entirely. How can people feel comfortable here if
they know that, if they slip, and say something wrong, they can be
shut out of the discussion entirely.
I can understand if someone is posting slanderous material (a
la Hardwick) but otherwise... people should be left to pick and choose
what they read rather than have the decisions made for them.
Granted - I didn't read these postings that everyone is
annoyed about.. But I haven't heard anything about slander...
