I will be fair, I do know what you mean by the whole bar to GFY comparison... and to a point I agree... however...
this is a public forum. Sure, it's contained within a given industry, but it's still very much public. Just as much as a public place is... conversations as such are in any public venue should be completely free, under the rule of freedom of speech.
However, just as what you could say can be used against you in a park or a restaurant or a bar.... it can be here as well.
Freedom of speech is also freedom of foot in mouth.... which is also freedom to do what ever to the person who just made the speech.
If you ban him from GFY for doing this, then every other public place of conversation would have to do the same.
It has nothing to do with my opinions of anyone here or anywhere, even if it was me that someone called the DOJ on... I'd definitely hate that person, but I wouldn't expect the board to ban him.
