Fortunately, the decision to ban people is not based on the whims of the majority here.
Who is the majority? Name them. I think you're trying to play the victim when there has been no crime. So a few people don't like jfern and want to ban him. So? Even more disagree with his opinions. What, that's not acceptable? Groupthink implies that a decision has been made because of the prevailing thought of the majority. I don't think a majority exists in this case, unless we're talking about people who just disagree with jfern. Most of his battles are between him and a few members who seek him out -- that's certainly not a majority. Vocal minority, maybe, but until you come to me with names of all these supposed people who want him gone because his views don't match up with the so-called prevailing whims of the forum, I think you're just trying to make mountains out of molehills.
I think I
might have seen one (possibly tongue in cheek) call to ban him. I have not suggested it and do not suggest it. If it were up to the majority to ban him, I seriously doubt if it would get a majority. It certainly would not get my vote (even though he has complained when I have defended
Democrats on this forum).
As to him bringing it on himself, he does, but usually due to his getting the facts wrong,
not because of his political views (as have been commented on by
Democratic posters on this thread).
