JLB and Sixgun flamed and trolled constantly while presenting their viewpoints creating a negative atmosphere that encouraged unhealthy debate.
If on the other hand, someone can hold opposing viewpoints without constantly bringing them up as a means of trolling and without allowing them to affect debate and decision making on their part. Then we have no right to restrict their activities on the forum including being a moderator if they want to be one.

Obviously, its overkill when you consider the number of actual posters left. |
So what decisions would you make? Either way, no matter what decision you make you are going to piss people off in the course of moderating a website. I don't see how you can't know that.
We have a choice between doing our best to allow a healthy degree of diversity in the forum and banning everyone who has something about them that makes a couple of members queasy.
What choice would you make? Fucking deal with it will you? We're not a bunch of ogres out to destroy the forum piece-by-piece.
Trust me, I even asked if that was part of the job-description when I was made a moderator.
