I'm continuing the discussion on Moral Panics from the old forum to this one. That thread was called "Technopanics and Other Unfounded Fears" but the topic was basically Moral Panics of all kinds. This Halloween ban thing is a perfect example of the type of reaction that results from people stuck in moral panic mode.
