I completely agree with you on the first part of it. The second, not so much. The reason is that I think it's horribly wrong headed for any one person, or set of people to decide one person's opinion isn't worth allowing here. Plus, when that person's gone, it's on to the next. And the solution is simple: don't read or respond. I want to emphasize that it's not just about swampy, and it's not just about one thread. Before this thread, it was a different thread. Before swampy, it was someone else.

there are a variety of viewpoints here BUT not ALL viewpoints are valid!
I'm sick and tired of public discourse being one well thought out idea contrasted with wacko ideas and the general conclusion you're supposed to draw is that the truth lies somewhere in between.
thats lazy and damaging to public discourse.

if they're conservative in the vein of the thread that inspired all this, then i won't miss them. there is no value in making room for the drivel.
