I am also against it. Norm does add a lot to this list, and even though he
and I don't always agree, he causes me to think over my stands occasionally. I
find the other polarity of opinions from Norms' just as hard to take
sometimes, and wish they would sit down too..but this IS still a semi-free
country, right?
Perhaps we can tone down the rhetoric just a tad and even the most sensitive
of us will be happy again.
I find it very interesting that a lot of the "ban him now!" crowd are rarely
-if ever heard voices. Folks, it takes participation to make this thing work.
If all you do is carp in every time you see something that irritates you, how
is that contributing? To me it is simply busybodies..micromanaging things, as
grandma B says.
