RW did something that warranted Admin intervention but it is getting clouded. This is not a case where a liberal has been silenced for being a liberal. This isn’t a case of someone saying something that the majority disagrees with and thus shuts down decent.
What RW did was make a personal attack against a fellow member of this board. That is all that matters. We don’t do that here. Beyond that, RW was called on it, given ample opportunity to amend and revise his statements and he didn’t. DanielA in fact, provided him a clear blueprint of how to both stand by his belief, and at the same time clarify the position by removing the personal nature of the challenge. Again, RW chose not to do so.
DanielA and Sheltidad, have both made comments in this thread that were both contrary to the majority and skeptical of the nature of the issue being discussed. BOTH were able to do this without a personal affront to the 2 ministers in question. Neither of them have received so much as a warning, nor should they.
I would like to see RW reached out to for the purpose of getting clarity on what the perception here is and giving him a chance to make things right. Banning while warranted, in this case, isn’t the thing that fixes the situation. Fixing it in my honest opinion is far more appropriate than simply being banned. Like Coonskinner, I believe there are much more important underlying issues here.
