"Courage" is an interesting choice of words. How did you come by it?

Normally one doesn't associate an exercise of superior power over

another person as "courageous".

There may be other virtues that could be invoked, like "expeditious",

or "popular", but "courageous" is more difficult for me.

At dp, I can't think of any negative consequences that accrued to

banning bb, nor were any anticipated. If any justification can be

asserted, I think it would be more in the line of "exercise of the

will of the majority." Which we might consider a virtue, I suppose.

But Courage?

Unless I suppose we care to attribute to Michael Hart an unusual

ability to enforce his legacy....
