I can understand, too, but I don't support it.  I wholeheartedly support the 
rules and 
guidelines that call for expulsion because of abuse, personal attacks, and 
that sort of thing, 
but I won't support any expulsion based solely on ideas.  If we start down 
that road, where 
do we stop?  Who decides, and how?  As long as the idea, however far-fetched 
it might 
seem to some (perhaps all) of us, is related to biblical Hebrew, and as long 
as it is 
presented in a fairly respectful and non-abusive manner, I submit that any 
and all ideas 
should be airable here.  If one thinks the idea is "out there like Pluto" 
then one simply need 
not read that person's posts.  But censorship based on radical or unpopular, 
or even 
disproven, ideas, is a really bad idea itself.
