Free speech doesn't allow you to yell "fire" I a crowded theater without repercussions. This hate speech is detrimental to the cellar and likely to deter many potentially valuable future members. One casualty now to prevent many later is a risk I'd take. If you could travel back in time, would you prevent Pol Pot making it to adulthood? Ibram may not come here any more, but I'd like to think that at one point we were a valuable resource for her. And she made many welcome contributions. How many Ibbys are we willing to risk not getting to know and not being here for?
Coventry worked for Emma. Might be a possibility.
