I think some of you are being a little too hard on JCB. He obviously has strongly held views - as so do many on here - and many of his views may seem incompatible with some of those members who have been on this site for longer. However, surely the principle should be that any new(ish) member should be treated on exactly the same basis as those who have been here for years.

JCB has professed his Christian beliefs. So What? There is nothing extreme about them. As far as I am aware, they are fully reconcilable with democratic debate and an open society so I don't see what the problem is. He may possibly have misinterpreted this website and even some of it's members but that is probably only through being a little clouded as to what it's about. He can't tell the comedians from the rest - but neither can I, and I've been on here for seven years. So give him time and don't be nasty to the guy.
