More common than it should have been, although more often for "heresy" than witchcraft. Burning at the stake. Only my strong belief in humanity prevents me from recommending it for certain modern miscreants, however.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
