CrassAct's departure aside - the free speech debate is an interesting one . Generally in a community like this I would support the principle of free speech - after all, if you spout garbage there are enough people around to argue back - but I can certainly see the point of having some limits .

Being racist, being sexist, being bigoted - all these are sensible limitations in a forum like this . And insulting its members is ( as CA found - and the late unlamented Insistor too ) is also a sure-fire way to get in trouble .

What?! Insistor's had the boot as well? This is EU regulation gone maaaaad!

I don't think there are any limitations on bigotry here, mind. In the broad sense of the word, ie the unwillingness of somebody to change their opinion no matter what evidence or arguments are presented. That's alive and well and living in a concrete bunker with a lifetime's supply of tinned food and water.

I sometimes think that racist, sexist, homophobic etc views have their place too. Better to have it out in the open where it can be tussled with than keep it festering underground. Though there is a difference between honestly expressing a prejudice and inciting hatred - a fine line, I'll grant you.

I must admit I'm a bit of an extremist as far as free speech goes.

If that's true, will be easy enough to spot. Look for a lack of commas. :)

Truly, I find this thread most depressing. If she is banned then so be it; there's no need to weigh in braying that it was well deserved, that "I hated her too" etc.

A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. Winston Churchill

Class Act had very little to say, but said a lot of it, often. He/she was utterly obsessed with weight and appearance, would not listen to anything anybody else had to say on the suject and simply droned on regardless. I personally couldn't care less about the ban.

Quite right! Speaking ill of someone who cannot reply or defend themselves is not exactly smart and clever.

As both profiles (classact and Euripides) have been in use for a long time and have no networks what-so-ever may I ask, has anyone ever met either of these people?

CA claimed beauty, wealth and intelligence but no one to my knowledge ever met them so the question is........

Classact.... Babe or Biffa??

People are defending her as much, it would be a poor thread if all that was on it was 'Admin is wrong' because that is not how all people feel.

I know someone who met her...I have no reason to believe he lied about that...apparently she is all she claims to be. <shrugs>
