I don't know why anyone would want members to not be allowed to choose for themselves if this is something they wish to show solidarity on. We aren't the moral police and we aren't here to enforce moral values on anyone. The point in having staff is simply to keep the forum running smoothly.
That's a fair point. But earlier in the thread, reference was made to ideals about free speech as the basis for Staff action. That is clearly not a practical justification; it is a principled justification (one I agree with, for what that's worth). But it's not really fair argumentation to at first appeal to principle, but whe answered with principle in kind, disavow it to argue practicality.
You'll have to water it down for me, baby. I don't know what you're saying at all.
