His post was edited for singling out a single community, whereas the issue is much broader, and parentheses have been entered around the edited text. He has now been banned from this forum indefinitely for continuing to comment on a closed topic. (contact the admin to resolve this if needed) Paul: You obviously did not see the contents of some of the posts Vinny: We only retained comments that were of substance, including yours. Many of the others were simply inflammatory. Also, please note that Daniel is one member of our team. We give him full support in his right to pursue this issue and it is not a collective statement; however, the response by many of Steyn's fans only solidifies the need to pursue this type of action. The Maclean's issue(s) is just one of many we address on this site, and for the time being it is time to move on. Unfortunately it appears as if we may have a rerun of spamming on this post as well, and will have to close comments. Sorry. Dave: Complaints of this type are regularly submitted.

Well, since you've already concocted a one-way street definition of 'hate speech' and have re-defined freedom of the press to include a 'Right of Rebuttal', we shouldn't be surprised. 14 comments is being ’spammed’?

If this is "spamming," I'll eat my hat. A question: given the remarks made by many in Canada's [Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Sikh and Hindu communities] toward homosexuals, when can we expect your complaints to the HRC regarding same?
