"I agree. That wasn't the point I was addressing." Would you like to address it?? "Yes. I wasn't addressing that point either." Would you like to address it?? "The majority of users would prefer to discuss their positions on the merits, but others can't settle for that so they resort to name-calling, threats, vulgarity"... So why should the thread head be able to do what he/she pleases while having control over others? Surely, the "other" can start a thread and then ban his/her oppressor--but, so what?? That is a game--RIGHT?? A waste of "band-width". I think you are making this far too complicated. Let people discuss as they wish. Forget creating "an overwhelming task for site admins". Tweak your TOU's a bit...and make ALL your TOU bans limited--as if we were all human beings. Murder may deserve "LIFE". Talking back to somebody and expressing an opinion does NOT. If you are not a religious cult, then please do not act like one. You are not Gods. Just relax and let people be people. You will get back all the people whom have left you and (more important)...you will be viewed as being FAIR, DECENT, AND ABOVE BOARD.
