I agree, sort of (I think your reaction is a bit over the top). Free speech needs to be absolute, and this forum is about the only place I know of online that adheres to this principle, EXCEPT for this banishment (and others I might be unaware of).

I like Imp's comments--they're always well-written and salty as hell and often really funny. You don't have to agree with him to enjoy them.

Banning the guy is cowardly and leftist (a redundancy).
