Welcome to the "clamor". It is not what he has to say, it is how he says it, it is the posting of antisemite incitements (and I do not mean anti-Israel or anti Sharon, I mean pure unadulterated antisemite garbage belonging to the like of the "Elders of Zion", the Jewish banking conspiracies and other conspiracies labeling Jews as conspiring maliciously to take over the world) that do not belong in a respectful thread as I try to maintain this thread. If he absolutely has to, he has his own thread, this is my thread, and I should be granted some rights, including the right to ask him to keep off this thread because he is not welcome.

I think this is a valid request if you put in the header that their is to be no discussion of "The Elders of Zion" or "Jewish banking conspiracies" or what ever else you do not want discussed. What is anti-semetic garbage is subjective. Even Jews can't definitively agree on this. I was introduced to "The protocols of the Elders of Zion" by a Jewish man.
I am on good terms with several Jewish people that cautiosly and reluctantly support Sharon seeing him as the lesser of two evils because of the Palestinian tactics.. I also know other Jewish people who view him as a war criminal and a traitor to Jews and have dedicatd their lives to stopping people like him.
I generally think that the solution to the abuse of free speech is more free speech. Lately this board has become more interesting then it used to be IMO but it also seems to be getting as inflammatory as the Yahoo boards. I have been a little guilty of that myself on occasion. Since you do a good job with the turnips I think all the people who engage in excessive and needless inflammatory remarks should consider calming down a bit. Assuming of course that they appreciate your work. Speaking of which is Sylvestor a regular contributor on the Non Politics thread? If he is not and just showed up here recently inflamming the board maybe he should leave. If not and he leaves it seems to me a few others out to go as well. JMO.
