I hope pcchat can be better than other political sites.

Whell did not simply 'state his opinion,' as no one disputes would have been his right. He operated as an aggressive and purposefully-obnoxious troll. For some reason you are unable to discern this, or unable to regard it as important.

In any case, based on your report of how you and others disliked the fights with whell, which I completely believe, my conclusion is that because whell deliberately provoked and fomented the response he got, he basically wrecked this forum.
