I agree with Seth.
Most of the "flame-fest" threads mentioned, while mostly boring, 
idiotic, and several other adjectives
I can think of... they do, on occaision, produce *something* of value, 
albeit rarely.

Shall we ban idiots, simply because they're moronic?
How about we just shoot 90% of the world and be done with it?

They are *sometimes* valuable... in the sense of a room full of monkeys 
on a typewriter will eventually produce
the works of Shakespear. I'd seriously consider supporting it... if for 
no other reason than the rare pearl it'll produce.

I could not have stated that better myself.
If ya'll are going to insist on censorship and bureaucracy... please let 
me know...
I've got a lot of other distros to look at if that's the case.

I've been around Fedora/Redhat since ~1998/9... mostly because I'm 
stubborn...
and I'd really hate to have to kick it to the curb.

No Censorship in *ANY* form... period.
