It's not the civilized thing to do. To take your analogy further, would you have him executed or locked up in the real world for what he's doing? Your answer, I would assume, is "no", as is mine. Despite the fact that I'm personally annoyed about the whole 'antisemite' thing, it's absolutely, positively, definitely not a reason why anyone should be _removed_ from our group. Living as a part of a civilization means that sometimes there'll be conflict, but I have to believe that a civilization which allows all voices to be heard is best. One must also accept that other people have points of view that may not make logical sense and/or be offensive to you. Also, you're probably not going to change their minds. This is the real world, after all. :-) Even though I'm not currently giving this impression, I happen to think the list's overall voice would be diminished without Jeroen, and despite butting heads with him kinda often, I do enjoy having him here. (Even if this means I mutter at the screen in frustration every once in a while.)
