Thompson wants million-member ground force

<p>I respect the job the moderators for this site have to do. However, banning posters should only happen as a last resort and in my opinion I haven’t seen anything said on this thread that remotely comes close to be a reason for such a drastic action. There were posters here on this board with whom I sometimes disagreed with vehemently—BUT I would happily welcome them back if they should ever get the opportunity. The exercise of the expression of free thoughts makes us all better. It’s curtailment is a sad thing, no matter who is at fault.</p>
