> you're self-identifying as an asshole,

This is tricky. Human rights exist for assholes. There is not much point of rights just for good people

So long as they leave those opinions on their blog, and off the forums, should they be banned?

what?

private communities (which in this context would include any website that doesnt end in .gov) banning assholes, has no impact on the human rights of those banned assholes, it is not a human right that you get to have an account on a private website

in the same way that getting trespassed from chipotle for not wearing pants when ordering your burrito bowl, doesn't mean your rights have been violated

Surely there is some implied right, as a user and developer on Nix to take part in the forums?

Should the quality of your opinions, outside the forum, be considered?

It is a difficult problem when dealing with notorious assholes. If they are playing a constructive part inside the organisation, at what level of notoriety and assholeness should the moderators pull the pin?

in general, that's 100% up to the discretion of the owners/moderators (shrug)
