The question then becomes where do you draw the line(s) and what's too extreme left and what's too extreme right?
As an odd personal experience/example, one of the first online groups I joined was an AOL chat board about listening to shortwave radio.
Turns out one member was a well known - like was on TV here in the US- racist. Except he was just a really mellow one, didn't come across as hateful, didn't express a wish for violence on anyone, just didn't want to live next door to anyone who wasn't like him. (Something I totally disagree with and find really undesirable even the relaxed way he expressed it) He got in an argument with someone from the Netherlands who explicitly stated that anyone who was racist should be killed. And did so repeatedly. Like round up the racists and get rid of them all.
Most of us just wanted them both to stfu and get back to discussing what weird radio stations were on what frequency....
So which would get banned? The mellow A-Hole, or the violence promoting guy who was probably ok in real life?
