Personally I find the outright ban distasteful, but par for the course with the current Republican climate. I'm currently in my probationary period during which one must use [The Unmentionable Candidate] or codewords like 'Voldemort' to refer to him. Spammers and trolls exist everywhere, and really do no good for whatever movement they are behind, however, RedStates method of dealing with them is obviously to me over the top baby-with-the-bathwater suppression, and quite telling of the state of political discourse when it relates to this election.

From a PR perspective, RedState is doing no one on the right a favor. The Republicans *have* lost their way, and they seem to be doing everything they can to stay lost, with a few exceptions.
