I'm not accusing you or anyone else of being on the extreme end of those things, but wouldn't you agree that banning a member based on his opinions is just a wee bit authoritarian?
Not when those opinions are expressed in an enforcing manner, no. I give emphasis to the fact that he's been
officially banned from the Dev & Tech board and that he's the
only person who has ever accomplished such thing. There's not a forum/community I've ever been on that does tolerate these people. And that's probably why he's on bitcointalk.
Anyway, I'm not against freedom of expressing one's opinions, but it's much more complicated with this occasion. If only he just expressed his opinion...
If you see someone who constantly disagrees with what you are saying, the only thing possible is to ignore them
And that's probably what I'm going to do from now on.
