It is, of course, your site, and you have the right to do what you
want with it. Scrooge is also something of an asshole.

Despite this I do not think it is appropriate to stop him from
posting... after all, no one has stopped Jeff Bigelow.

Your actions seems to have been taken to protect us. I would suggest
that such actions should not be taken unless a substantial proportion
of the readers of this newsgroup request it.

PS. People who seriously object to scrooge can put him in their kill files.
