Wow. I don't follow MobileRead as closely as some others, but I'm really unhappy that both of these options exist in this forum and have been used. Perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions. I hope so.

One of the things that I admired about this place was the friendly, helpful attitude (especially towards newcomers) and a willingness to debate, if not necessarily accept, new ideas. I don't know what happened in any specific case, but here's a thought:

"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
-- John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
