FWIW, I don't hate Lou. I sometimes am angry with Lou, but I don't hate him. Believing you have been divinely called to Babble to free people from medication drugs (if I understand Lou's position correctly) isn't something to hate someone for. Neither, really, is interpreting facts in light of that belief in divine calling.
Using words like "hate" may distract the emphasis from problematic behaviors - behaviors that are problematic not only to posters and not only in an administrative sense, but possibly problematic to the poster as well. I had always liked the fact that it was problematic behaviors that were addressed by Admin on Babble, not posters or feelings about posters.
I think the addressing of the most problematic behaviors might actually reduce anger and help in the sort of community building that would, IMO, be important to Babble. If you were open to it, perhaps the community could come together to create useful but fair guidelines to increase rather than decrease inclusiveness, while decreasing (current) problematic behaviors.
