"Where did you get that quote"

As I said in an earlier posting, banning someone from participating can lead to a 'witch hunt' with anyone who chooses to (and is allowed to) post what could be misinformation without the person banned having recourse to respond or challenge or counter any misinformation.

As evidenced by the posting by Ubiquitous Biscuit who is actually claiming (as in his words "he says" in referring to GK) - a statement to be true. Either it is or it isn't !!!!!!!!!!!

This is most unfair.

This isn't what I understand as "everyone's right to free speech" - it is what I would call " anything goes", particularly when hiding behind a pseudonym. Does a fictitious name allow a fictitious comment ? Is that how it goes ?

So, in reply to your sentence, Awe-d-o-file,

>>> "I'm not worried about a possible witch hunt. I lean toward letting people on all sides say what they want so I wouldn't have banned him." <<<

Unfortunately, "letting people have their say" can, whilst allowing them to voice their opinions, can also allow misinformation to abound !! Without Geoff Kait being allowed to confirm, whether he actually said what Ubiquitous Biscuit says he said, then that statement (presented as fact by Ubiquitous Biscuit) stays, as it were, on file.
