Any further comments regarding Faiths banning can also be discussed here.
When was this? What was the final straw?
See Message 554.

Just correcting the record, and I'll edit your message so it's correct. The message you quote from was Message 544 from Faith, not Message 554 from me. I cited no specific Faith message in my post.

A Few More Words About Faith's Suspension
I'll add to a few words to my comments in Message 554.
This discussion board is more than 20 years old if you count its Yahoo predecessor. It has had the same goal from the very beginning: reasoned and informed discussion achieved through moderation. I understand that many wish Faith had not been indefinitely suspended, but she was by far the biggest offender of this board's underlying philosophy. When the subject became a matter of life and death the stakes became so high I could not permit her continued use of the board to disseminate potentially deadly misinformation.
Faith is indefinitely suspended, her IP address is blocked from accessing the website, and after she sent a couple emails to the admin account touting hydroychloroquine her email was also blocked.
Faith is not being censored. She can be contacted through email, she has her blog, and the entire rest of the Internet is open to her. Her preference for this website is only because its dark background is easy on her eyes.
