Not a fan of shutting down dissension. If Clinton wins, I will most likely have to leave. Careful what you wish for.

“ There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers”

Freedom of speech and all that. A side benefit is making it easier for us to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I look forward to a lot of things,friend, but using force to quell dissenting opinions is not one of them. It betrays an impulse that is illiberal at best and fascistic at worst.

Thank you in advance.

The argument that "I can't wait for my candidate to win so I can use the board rules to shut everybody who doesn't support him up" betrays an authoritarian or totalitarian impulse.
