So what I'm taking away from all that, in your opinion, while the
admin in the Making Lights case may have made a few minor procedural
errors (not solicting 3rd parties first, etc),  basically the actions
taken were were appropriate.   ML should have been purged, or at
least, it should have been been purged if it ultimately decided not to
self-censor?
