Bring the hammer down - 'climate change deniers are dangerous' and being banished from The Conversation, page-271

One doesn't trump the other. The Conversation is only going to filter out the unsubstantiated rubbish. It doesn't have a complete ban on the opposing view.

As to the question of a tax payer funded group ' filtering ' information. What about the government ? They are completely tax payer funded and they filter public information every day of the week.
