You have a 16-year old daughter that meets a boy at school. He asks here out to go to a movie, or ballgame or whatever. Before you tell here "yes" you do a little asking around. You discover this kid has been arrested twice for driving while drinking. You discover that he got some young girl pregnant last year. Do you let your daughter go out with him? What? you'd let actions *somewhere else* influence your decision *now*? hmmm.... Would that be a double-standard? Or did you misunderstand my comments about what is going on in r.g.c.c... if someone is abusive over there, in a public forum just like CCC, wouldn't you suspect he/she would do the same over here? And if they do, and you kick them out, and you notice they *continue* to be abusive over there, would you let them back in *here*??? That is the issue.
