All it took for me to be banned for life, was three postings arguing for the ideas of Charles S. Cagle! The person that banned me for life is mfb, an "insights author" with 45 "followers". Apparently his insights are excellent when it comes to censorship. Galilei would have everything to fear from this man.

It's their forum, and they don't want nutters polluting it with junk. 
Nutters invariably think they have something to contribute, but equally 
invariably what they're spouting is just nonsense.
