Well then, why is @RT_Erdogan, @SaudiEmbassyUSA or @FraukePetry still a thing?

No, it is perfectly acceptable to ban the most extreme members. Just because they don't ban everyone with extreme views doesn't mean they need to keep all of them.

I am tired of these all-or-nothing discussions that seem commonplace nowadays. The world is not as brightly defined as you think it is. We can make forward progress progressively.
