Banishing is not dictatorial, it is self
protection !
There is a liability issue, if someone cause
injury with a sub designed from infos gathered at PSUBS, PSUBS will be sued
for certain and may be shut down, any lawyer will confirm it.
It happens all the time with murders, assisted
suicide, poisoning, bomb making , whatever from infos obtained through
websites. do you think psubs would get away ?
Worst: if it is a terrorist, first of all he
wont tell you, but if you unwillingly help him, you go to jail. try
it.
No matter what, even if someone does not get any
info on ballast system because he wants to use propane for instance but
designs a sub anyways with info on control system, air system,
battery , you are liablebecause you allowed a weirdo to run a
propane sub.
However anybody can ask questions and learn ,
that is legitimate but if someone is pursuing and insisting because he
wants to design a "lethal" sub he should be ignored, I will ignore
him, and if banished it is very unlikely that he designs his
sub because outside PSUBS it is not that easy to get infos on making
subs. and if does it anyways at least somebody else will liable.

I think we should consider the fact that
designing or building a sub is a dream shared by many people. Banishing
there (lethal) ideas from the website will eventualy banish these people
from the site. Many of them people (like me) are "dreaming" for over 25
years now, since long before internet existed. They will not be stopped by
sending them away. The risk of a lethal accident will be greater when they
are on themselves. In order to prevent human tragidies
and new legislation I think we should keep them on the list.
