I abhor censorship too. That's the reason I am so hesitant to ban anyone, ever. I have to really be pushed hard. Comments about objectivity with respect to ads are very fair game. No argument there. I agree Jay, at least recently, hasn't been at the epicenter of most 100 post arguments. You are dead wrong about why Jay got banned. He got banned for his incessant rants about the ads that would never stop. He had at least 2 final warnings before. Maybe when you give warnings you won't act on them. I will. I only listened to what the board said to validate what I was already going to do. If it was overwhelming to NOT ban him then I wouldn't have. I will continue to believe it is not "my" board as long as I moderate it. It's the members board but I do have to manage it. It would be worse than it is if no one managed it, I believe....

Dan B- Joe P was banned a few weeks ago. I warned him in private emails to stop the attacks on several people. Nine days after my warning he did it again. For the record I emailed with Joe today and he is doing well. WE are cool between us. I like him. He just wouldn't do a small thing I asked. I am also in email correspondance with Jay B this evening.....I hope he and I can work things out. I can only take so much though before I have to do something. I only ask others opinions to make sure I am not way off base....

I hope this clears a few things up and gives a little more of my thoughts on the subject. I HATE banning anyone...I really do....regards
