- I'm pretty uncomfortable with the idea of "banning" anyone's
- speech. Frank Topping sounds angry and nearly incoherent, but
- unless he says something actionable, why take action? And if
- action is taken, let it be along customary lines
- of action for libel -- by some person who believes he or she
- has been libeled.

- Otherwise, my grandmother's advice still sounds good to me:
- Don't dignify it with an answer.
