I did that yesterday.  But, I'm glad they finally unsubed them.  I
don't support censorship.  But, I also don't support people's 'right'
to pee in the streets or deface public property, either.  I do support
decisive leadership on the part of those who are responsible for
pursuing some stated agenda.  And temporarily banning them from plug
is the right thing to do.

However, I do hope that they weren't banned from plug-talk.  They're
abusive banter should be tolerated in some venues in the same way 
that we allow KKK members to march.
