This whole thing makes me sad, really. I still think the mods had to do something, and this solution is not the worst they could have come up with, but what it may do is just create a closed environment where the most enraged "debaters" (I use this term for want of a better and still polite one) will discourage more reasonable posters to participate. I have already joined and left the group, and I'm sure I will do so again. I don't know if I will participate. I guess time will tell.
I just wish this had not been necessary.
