is it true that a group of folks on this site banned together to have a conservative banned from this site?......isn't that against "freedom of speech?...why did yahoo answers fall to this?

First of all, of all the questions and answers I've had banned from this site (not too many, but I'm not trying very hard) have overwhelmingly had a liberal bent, not a conservative one. You may be offended by this perceived tactic, but nothing prevents you from doing the same thing. If it's easier for you to whine than organize, well, so be it.
Second, the nature of this site will invariably reflect the makeup of the users of this site, and not some ideal that you apparently feel that this site should strive for. Stephen Hawking notwithstanding, this is NOT a site for the serious consideration of similarly serious questions. Y!A has value, but you yourself are left to judge the value of any given response.
Last, while you do have freedom of speech (allegedly), Y!A has no obligation to provide you with a forum with which to practice it. If Y!A was to ask me, which they haven't, I would say that the type and amount of control over the questions they allow are abysmal, and far outweigh the perceived political slant of any question or rumored group.
Grow up, lighten up, or fly away, TYVM. It's my site, too.

If anyone needs to band together and try and ban anyone... it should be in an effort to rid this site of erudite... the habitual liar, violator of copyright law, and breaker of numerous rules while baiting other posters... THAT guy is who should be outta here
Freedom of speech does not cover for the breaking of laws...

Many here do not believe in freedom of speech. They are "Bush" lovers. Many times I ask a question and I get it taken off and told "Violation" but others can ask the same question and it's alright. I just say..."Keep fighting" for freedom of speech so matter what the Bush lovers say or do.

I've heard this twice now this morning and still NO LINK. Accusations are simply that without proof.
