Nom, Of course your just as free to go, as we are free to moderate. I just want to make clear though, that we have never moderated based on content or substance. There are three moderator's on this site, and our views differ drastically. I don't think you can find two people who have views that differ as drastically as mine and Ian's. You, and everyone else are free to talk about anything you want on this site. You will only be banned if you attack other members of the group, using foul and vulgar language, and change the tone of an open and accepting environment. In other words, we are only intolerant of the intolerant. ;) (never thought I'd hear that phrase come out of my mouth, or at least from my fingers) I understand though if your "commitment to free speech" forces you from our group. Its been nice having you. You'll be missed.
