- This is admittedly the first time I've ever heard anyone make that
- claim as well, but I've seen a couple of cases in which hordes of people
- have posted "requests" for other dissenting persons to butt out and leave
- a group until they have "learned" more appropriate opinions. Consider the
- case of Steve Chaney or Jack Schmidling. Basically these two guys have
- gotten unpopular enough that they can no longer hold fruitful discussions
- here because people are so busy berating them for past transgressions or
- trying to put words in their mouthes in order to create new offenses. Both
- of these individuals have been effectively "kicked out".
