Free Flight, Free Speech

@IAHM-COL and @Vincent, comments understood and thank you for the explanations. Moderation is always a difficult job (the only exception being when you let genuine and unrestricted free-for-alls happen with nothing ever done at all, which is not moderation.)

When I read the sig, I thought: 1) Wow, that's an over the top insult against jwocky. 2) Everything lydiot says from now on is suspect in my mind. A comment like that, without any context, is revealing of someone with diminished capacity. 3) It's a 'free speech' forum, therefore it's allowable even ...
