Why are we deleting freepers?

Folks, I've been looking forward to ripping a freeper-troll a new anus for quite some time.

So why are we zapping them?

Yes, I know the rules state no disrespectful words or bigotry on the forum. For the most part, I agree.

Yet it bothers me that we delete them simply because they write things we don't like. Hey, welcome to the real world: Be it online or in the streets of America these clowns exist. Shutting them off on the net accomplishes nothing, except to seal off and make our little world of discontent. Trolls who come here deserve to be flamed, not deleted. Knowing the tenacity and intelligence of the left, these clowns will walk away from the screen to cry.

I personally believe that liberals and libertarians are the last bastion of liberty and free speech.

My claws need sharpening.
