As a relative newcomer, and possibly perceived as an interloper, I'll just register the following opinion: In the primary bastion of capitalism, we still have the First Amendment, even for the terminally dull and tedious. In the land of the terminally dull and tedious, there is a lot of room for views that become boring; and Tell's are IMNSHO worth a forum. If not here, then where? If not now, then when? To the same extent that I objected to the "expulsion" of the lawyer at the Public Utility Commission of Texas (full disclosure: a former employer of mine) who displayed -- at times -- a wholly conventional view of the economic milieu we all confront, I also object to the muzzling of Tell.
