It may well be that you are speaking with tongue in cheek, Alberto, but in my four or so years on this list, AFAICT, banning is extremely rare. And it's a damn good thing, too, because I know that I have posted in anger and would have been subject to banishment on a list with a less (shall we say) liberal approach. Some of the conservatives who once participated actively on this list still pop up from time to time (consider this a shout-out to Gautam), but are mostly quiet these days because Barack Obama hasn't been elected yet.
