[Users] Protesting This Site Due to Banning Military members

I don't think this site would ban anyone just for bein' in the military, but
if you feel that way, then all I can say is just to take your ball and go
home, you big baby. This site was designed to treat people as equals and not
discriminate people. It don't matter if you're from the military, you
must've done somethin' pretty stupid if you got banned. And oh yeah, I'm
from Canada, so I don't support the US Military. I respect it's members but
I do not support 'em. That's my take on things. You don't like how things
are done on this site, then do us all a favor and just take your ball and go
home.
