 Remember, echos are private property.

 I recall one person being banned for anything but personal
 attacks. If you can't deal with that you have a problem.

 That one person insisted on using his echo to try to control the
 moderation of my echo. That's how I see it.

 Sorry, don't work that way.

 If you look at it, the reason they were banned was for trying to
 intimidate others for what they said, or deny others freedom of speech.

 That is defending freedom of speech.

 Freedom of speech is not the same as anarchy in the forum.
