Dave,
Thanks for the alternate interpretation. I hadn't considered it from
that perspective.

Hi Chris,
I don't think Jean was saying what you think. "The ultimate result of
shielding men from the results of folly is to fill the world with fools"
means, DON'T ban or expel anybody, even if you think what they're saying is
folly, because we will all turn into fools without having our ideas tested.
In other words, Jean was trying to agree with you.

Jean,
Do you really believe that is what is happening here? The man was
chastised and offered a sincere apology. Do you really believe that his
"crime" deserves the punishment of expulsion? Or is it a overblown response
because he rubs people the wrong way sometimes?
Put yourself in his shoes. You misspeak while talking to your friends. The
next thing you know, you're cast out of that social circle with no chance
of redemption. Is that a fair response?
These are not rhetorical questions. I would really like to know what you
think.
