I haven't had time to give a thoughtful response to the original post. I will before tomorrow. Shutting down free thinking, opinions of others and exchanging ideas, it is not good. I had a teacher in high school who encouraged us to challenge him. Sometimes he would throw out something completely illogical, knowingly so. But, it had us all thinking and exchanging thoughts. This poster has done nothing to be banned. I asked him to limit the number of threads he started and he has politely complied.
