Banning her from all threads and not just the one about Corona is an over-reaction. I don't even agree with banning her from that thread, but a total ban is a thoughtless knee-jerk.

Has she been banned permanently? What for?
​
'Indefinitely' apparently. For being Faith and talking bollox. Same shit different topic.

Pecy has gone into hyperactive paranoia mode about Covid sadly.

LET ME REPEAT THIS CRUCIAL POINT: HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE HAS BEEN USED FOR A LONG LONG TIME FOR MALARIA. A FRIEND OF MINE HAS FAMILY MEMBERS WHO TOOK IT WHEN THEY WENT TO MALARIA-RIDDEN COUNTRIES. SHE IS ALSO PART OF A MEDICAL COMMUNITY THAT HAS USED IT FOR YEARS. NONE OF THIS PROVES ITS EFFICACY FOR THE CURRENT VIRUS, ALL THAT DEPENDS ON THE ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE THAT IT HAS BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE. BUT YOU CAN'T SAY IT HASN'T BEEN TESTED IN WAYS THAT MATTER WHEN IT HAS A LONG HISTORY OF USE FOR MALARIA. IT OUGHT TO BE CONSIDERED WORTH A TRY FOR PEOPLE WITH SEVERE CASES OF THE VIRUS.
​
Ok she was doing her frustrated shouting again but there's nothing factually wrong with what she says, nor is she telling every to go out and poison themselves with it.
​
She even points out that just because it's proven safe to use as an antimalarial drug doesn't mean to say it's safe for CV19 use. For Faith, this is a balanced and accurate post.
​
You've got this one wrong Percy.

for a supposedly intelligent man you dont seem to get the obvious. This forum is the responsibility of Percy. Do you share in any of its upkeep? Oh tangled one whatever am I to do with you?
​
Percy can do what he likes with his forum but he normally has good reason to do them and he normally shares his reasoning. That's one of the things that make this a good place to be - sensible, transparent and proportionate moderating.
​
It appears on this particular point he'd rather take the arbitrary authoritarian route. That's a shame.
​
What's more Faith has been a member here for almost 20 years - an indefinite, total ban? Sorry, that's bollox.

And then there were two. GDR and Phat.

American politics isn’t something I'm interested in discussing - but that's what this site pretty much does now.
