> but the site admins have to ban in some cases, sadly No, they really don't. Hosting a public forum is not an endorsement of all, or any, views expressed in it. As long as they ban nobody, they're not responsible for what anyone says. But, the moment they decided to ban the first person, because they didn't like what he said, they accepted responsibility for what everyone says. It's the same story as everywhere else. Once you start censoring, there's no going back. You'll have to keep censoring. Little by little. More and more. Until all that's left is brain-dead noise, so bland and shapeless that nobody can take offense at it.
