I agree with you. I find disturbing that so many people find Rick's post worth of banning (for example Naomi), tweeting (?) (Tore and others) for he preaches his believes (which of course I do not share at all), yet they say NOTHING or are apologetic (ie "well I respectfully disagree" or something like that) when others are actively campaigning to drop nukes to kill thousands of innocent lives even kids and wouldn't be remorseful at all
