Oh, I agree, mon, that Cheryle set out to provide a forum for free speech, but due to the nature of the Internet, eventually she had to make it invitation-only IIRC, and two guys have been banned AFAIK. I'm sure they deserved it, if they were attacking women or arguing with themselves, but until you can set up a place where even the most unpopular monster can speak freely, then you are not providing free speech. The converse of that: you need good moderation, erring on the side of caution, if you want to avoid strife and ill-will. I know Ron has been banned at various sites, but I never felt good about that. I think in time he would have adjusted, just like you guys did at Cheryle's forum. I say forgive and forget.
