- 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".
-
- Really? It seems to me that the individuals in question made their own
- decision to leave. They could have stayed, but they didn't. In case you're
- too busy defending them to notice, those two you mentioned can't hold a
- worthwhile discussion for one basic reason: they have no interest in
- holding one in the first place.

- Merry Christmas to you, too.
-
- I should hope so.
-
- >Have a nice day.
-
- Ditto.
-
- It'd be nicer if you'd bother learning just what the two people you're
- defending did to earn their reputation...
