Before this builds into a "free speech" scenario, lets remember the facts:
1) Use of aliases (forbidden)
2) Obscene ad hominem "jokes" (also forbidden and potentially actionable against UT).
Nobody made him do that.
I also note that a certain *very* "pro-VFP" party also seems to have absented himself after a spat with JB.
Meanwhile people like Jess Banaga espousing similar ideas remain here... probably because he is concise, disagrees without calling people names or describing their sexual habits, and does not use an alias.
Seems simple to me.
Who knows, MF might let them back but I woundn't let somebody back if they refuse to acknowledge they did anything wrong and try to make out it is all about free speech. UT might be sued next time.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
