If you believe that bigotry, Nazism, crypto-necrophiliac rape culture, etc. must be stopped then come out of the closet and endorse this.

No, but I admit I'm tired of tolerating being tolerant of intolerance.

Only annoying trolls should be banned. Most of them also happen to oppose gay marriage.

They are on the AlternateHistory.com message board, so it's not unheard of for a reasonable level-headed forum to enact such a rule.

Had this forum been around 50 years ago, on what day would the racial segregationists have been banned? MLK's assassination?

I didn't know that was the case although I remember they banned the thelyniezien for constantly bringing up the subject.

I'm not sure how we could consider that a fair and even standard given the amount of guillotine rhetoric that some posters produce.

The assertion that Hifly's opposition to gay marriage is evidence of Nazism got me to thinking: if people believe that opposing gay marriage is equivalent to bigotry, and they are in support of censoring (non-leftwing) offensive ideologies as many posters here are, then this would be the logical conclusion.

I don't see the point in banning bigotry. Naziism, racism, homophobia, etc. Let the world see how ugly some people can be. Banning them shields their ideology from scrutiny, and should be reserved for those who actively seek to disrupt the Forum.

The only reason someone should be banned is if they're making serious threats of violence towards others.

No one should be banned, but if we absolutely have to ban people, let's start with the moderators and then only once they're all gone should we start banning the homophobes.

Yes but because I was an immature p**** a half-decade ago.

You're allowed to say penis again, friend. Inks isn't moderator anymore.

I think respectful  hatred along the lines of TJ or DC is not banworthy. But vocally overt homophobia (aka Hilfy) should be.
