Here's my blog on the subject, in which I agree with Duke -- to a point.

See? Duke is simply asking for the right to speak freely, and may the best idea win. How can you disagree with him? You can't; he's right. And by banning him you give him the opportunity not only to indulge his paranoid fantasies ("Look! Look! I'm being repressed!") but to cloak himself in the language of light and freedom....
Banning bad ideas merely gives bad ideas credibility and a certain outlaw panache.
