Then it’s a short (and “justifiable”) step to ban the 9/11 threads, because those people are whackjobs, then all the other CT threads. After that, we can clear away the atheists/theists threads and so on.

I was going to ask the same [slippery slope] question:

Shall we ban the following? Why, or why not?

1. Moon landing hoax believers

2. 9/11 thruthers

3. Oswald did not kill Kennedy believers

4. Global warming deniers

5. Gun control opponents

6. Republicans

7. Fox News viewers

Edit: Posting before finishing the thread. Still in the middle of page 1!
