We've been through some really heated debates on being PC etc. and I resent your assumption that anyone who is liberal would want to ban you, or anyone else, with a differing viewpoint.

Didn't assume that anyone who is liberal would want to ban me. Just assumed that enough would that it might happen.

In actuality, no one who is liberal in the classic sense would want to ban anyone, unless the proposed banee had slipped so far into personal abuse or irrelevancy that it was obvious to everyone that they were making any useful discussion impossible. For that matter, no one who is conservative in the classic sense would want to, either.

America's two-party system has caused both viewpoints to calcify to the point of being oppressive, and each side realizes about the other but fails to see it in themselves.
