  : It's a shame all this came to a head so rapidly, without time for consideration.  I am sure a lot of the acrimony would have been avoided otherwise, and I regret it, really.  The one thing a ban would do is affect public perception.  This guy Dan Murphy is viewed as a legitimate critic.  If he were banned for outing, that might undermine his credibility.  However, if we don't have solid evidence to ban him, it would look like an injustice and rally support for him.  My inclination is to be very conservative in this matter.  He should not be banned unless there is clear reason that could be explained to anybody in a 15 second sound bite.
