War room is mostly a free for all. Very little moderation as opposed to the rest of the board.
I believe free speech in the real world. This isn't the real world. Some members felt really unwelcome by the religious attacks on the board. So I banned a lot of stuff dealing with religion. I was able to find a workable solution to hide the religious topics from those who don't want to see it.

Fair enough. Im glad you saw it as an honest question, and not an attack on the way you run this board.
Other than that, I agree, this was a stupid mess that makes Canadians look bad, and gives idiots like Coulter more ammo for her future attacks.
Frankly, I cant stand the bitch, that doesnt mean she didnt deserve to be able to give her opinion, like she was there to do.
BUT... And there is a big but. She is using hate speech everywhere she opens her mouth. Her comments about muslims go far beyond what is reasonable. She has advocated the destruction of everyone who isnt a catholic on multiple occasions. Here at least, that is hate speech. So is signalling out one race that shouldnt be allowed to fly.
Coulter is no more than a racist and a bigot. I dont think anyone can argue with that. Inviting her to speak in a country like Canada, with such a different culture than your own (yes, we are very different in the way we think about the world), was a bad idea to begin with. We dont really walk the extreme right or extreme left wing lines you guys do. Even our conservative party is just as liberal as your democratic party. It would be hard to find a lot of people to agree with her, especially on a Canadian University Campus.
