Fair enough. How do you/HN define "ideological battle" so I can have some frame of reference? I'm largely reporting on things I'm either seeing, experiencing, or that friends and family are seeing or experiencing. Often, it is in response to some ridiculous (in my opinion) mass-hysteria from other posters. I feel it's imperative to show experiences other than the 'common' one. I'm also curious why you would be willing to provide ammunition in these so-called "ideological battles" by banning accounts? By all means, this is your house, so your rules...ban if you must.
