I'm finding out how to close a post from further comments and will do so ASAP.
As for banning the persons in question; Their remarks elsewhere have been, to put it briefly, vile. On this community, at least sakura_shinra has stuck around. She has been somewhat less offensive, but insists on an unpopular and misinformed view of multiplicity.
I can't ban someone merely for having an unpopular opinion, or even for insisting that she's right, we're wrong. Many multiples, including many on this community, do feel they have a sickness and desire psychiatric intervention. In some cases they may be absolutely right.
I admit Andy and I were amused by her assertion that it's irresponsible and dangerous to have such an "open slather, unmoderated" community as this. However, does this in itself warrant a ban? If she doesn't like the community, she can of course leave. Or she can stay and learn something.
Again, I wish to go to the community for consensus. If she's willing to keep a civil tongue in her head on this community, do you feel that sakura_shinra should still be banned? Or do you feel that the things she's said in and/or out of the community warrant a ban? What about the others (binky_stunt_cat and uziel?
We want this community's members to feel that they can speak their minds here without intimidation or criticism from outsiders who are not willing to take time to educate themselves and understand the many different views that are here.
