There was a lot of dialog on this topic when the policy was first put in
place.
Here is my opinion from 15 months ago on the topic:

I still think it is a bad policy. If you make someone unwelcome, they will
gravitate to a place where they are welcome. LD working with FBTB is one
examples, Jake answering 20 questions on BiMP is another. Both could have
happened here on LUGNET but they didn't and that is unfortunate.
