Kearn, It's not about free speech in my opinion. It's about keeping unity in our small community.
BAUT has over 10,000 members, most of them with a much more scientific background than IIS. IIS has a lot of newbies buying their first telescope. There just isn't a big enough community with the same interest in healthy debates - it ends up getting personal.
BAUT has restrictions on so called "free speech" as well, just check their guidelines. But I do agree with you, that stinky, or anyone else, who wants to have a vigorous healthy debate on ID, do it over at BAUT. It's obvious that IIS isn't a big enough, mature/evolved enough community for that right now.
