This is nonsense. We are a community. You don't have a community were "bad
apples" are throw out. Does nobody remember the Dave Cinege Saga? It was an
ugly thing, but I was really lucky that everybody here was fine enough to
cope with it.
Dave said a lot of bad things, but he was not thrown out or censored. Bruce
put him in "digest mode" if he was too harsh, so that people who were
interested could read the mails, but other people could easily delete it.
See, those "bad apples" are humans, and you don't "get rid" of humans.
