During the fall we had some major crises on the thread

I remember, tekboy. I wasn't actively posting at the time, but I was lurking. It was a sad situation.

I'm not really advocating locking people out of the thread, but I'm also not so sure it wouldn't have been appropriate in this case. This situation was different from the thread wars last fall. This wasn't a difference of opinion among several people about what the thread should be about -- this was one person coming in and being disruptive and disrespectful to everyone on the thread (even those brave individuals who tried to have a civil discussion with her -- kudos to Merlin in this respect, though I honestly don't know where he gets his patience).

UF is correct, though. If someone becomes too impossible, SI Administration is there to take care of it, and if it isn't bad enough for SI Admin, it probably isn't all that bad.

Boy, that didn't sound very curmudgeonly at all, did it? I see I'm going to have to work at this... <g>
