I think that Guedon's advice to "Remove access to Lingua going forward" is the
moral equivalent of a book banning.
There's no moral difference between saying "Remove access to Lingua" and saying
"Remove the book Heather Has Two Mommies."

Mr Beall, as usual, picks his words as hostile as possible to address this
OA community. Calling Jean-Claude Guedon a book banner is like calling
Nelson Mandela a criminal. It is just not true and it tries to ride the
waves of a very disturbing discussion. I am asking him to show some respect

Removing access simply means "stop subscribing". Libraries stop
subscribing to journals all the time (in particular because they cannot
pay for them).
If stopping a subscription is equivalent to "book banning", then one can
say anything in English (or any other language for that matter).
And
Knowledge and culture are to be shared by nature. Any impediment to the
dissemination of knowledge to all must be fought by all means. If a
price must be paid for the development of knowledge it must be
reasonable and small, and contribute to the development of knowledge
itself, not to pay

I respectfully disagree with J Beall.
Libraries have always made decisions about purchases based on costs and other

"Remove Access" would of course be absurd, and completely contrary to the
spirit of OA (but that's not what J-CG meant).
"Cease to Pay for Access," on the other hand, is a call for a perfectly
valid and longstanding judgment-call by library serial acquisitions

May I suggest that authors of articles in Lingua should make full use of their
self-archiving rights to make this material freely available through their OA
archive.
Does anyone know the history of author contracts for this journal? What rights
