Those of us who insist on a level playing field do so not because we care for "bad" ideas, but because we are concerned about who is going to decide what ideas are bad.

Also: If you can't attack an idea, because it is banned somewhere, you can't change the mind of the person holding that idea.

So, banning it results in them only becoming more embedded with the idea.
