Short answer....Yes.
Long answer: The accusation was that men are "ferreted out" for holiness non-conformity. I take that to mean that members of said forums are "outed" if they do not hold to the accepted norms of the holiness police so to speak. And quite frankly I have not seen that.
Often men who hold differing views "out" themselves, and then sometimes heated discussions follow. However, with the exception of a very conservative forum, (and even there it was after many months of discussion) I have never seen anyone kicked out over standards. Now doctrinal issues (non standards) is another story. (And again IMHO if a forum has a stated doctrinal creed if you will, I think it is fine to require conformity on those stated matters.)
