Do you really believe that?
Or do you think that everyone ELSE here feels that way? Because that's a pretty potent combination of racism, sexism, and classism all in the space of a single sentence.

I don't see why people are arguing about town bicycles. I think every town should have some bicycles. They could be rented for an hour at a time and have a large basket in the back to carry purchases and such, and maybe get a few more people out of their cars, especially all the tourists stopping to look at trees like they're an alien invasion. If Padma is advocating something like that, I would be happy to get behind her on it.

You would ban someone for merely having a point of view that differs from the norm?

How you managed to draw that conclusion from the post pwhodges made is totally beyond my comprehension.

Probably because you DELETED the last part of pwhodges quote, eliminating the context of the post. It's easy to be baffled by a statement when you selectively erase relevant portions of that statement.
In any case- I'm sure pwhodges doesn't want to enter a discussion of a specific case beyond what has been said publicly; it's obvious that the moderators agree his action was appropriate and I trust his judgement.
I think that any additional discussion about this might best be discussed in PM or a different topic, as it has ceased to be about the comic and more about posters; that brings it into off-topic territory.

Just so you know, I laughed reading this.
