You, and many others, would be sure to ban anyone who stated the wrong points of view, "rants" or no "rants". If this much-vaunted new group ever gets off the ground, I'll prove it by posting nothing but points of view - and still getting banned. Indeed, that is the whole *point* of the new group, and the whole reason why the numbskulls find the "trolls" so unbearable: they hate it when their point of view is shown to be wrong, and they'd rather gag the person pointing that out than correct their own point of view. The evidence is all around us.
