As most things in life, freedom to express is rarely a black and white issue, it is mostly shades of grey. I have deleted only one post at this board, it was a long time ago and I did so because it was a blatant (obvious ) post for deletion.

I welcome discenting opinions - Heck, I often strive to put forward views that are different, contrary and negative to a degree, all in the interest of airing all possible ideas and in particular those that could have been over looked. It is not comfortable to post something that goes against the popular trend.

I have no reservation about keeping Otto out mainly due to my past bias/experience with him at another board. It is not stomping on free speech, it is eliminating abuse of free speech.
Freedom only comes with accountability and responisbility. Step outside and you are fair game.
Jmho.
