Has anyone in this discussion _read_ the inalienable rights? I mean, 
carefully?

They do NOT say "you can not ban for..."

They are that you can not force people to do certain things. I don't 
care what methods you employ, whether you try to convince, threaten or 
ban. It's all the same to me, it's pressure. Finding more creative ways 
of excerting pressure doesn't change the fact that you're trying to 
force people to do something that is protected by the inalienable rights.
