Threads like that go through stages. The first is the promise of a refreshing dialog with openness and politeness. Then come a few obvious bans, usually of crazy trolls. Then come a few gray area bans, like the one today for Laz. The fourth stage is when the moderator fights with adversaries and allies alike about thread conduct and defends his bans. And the fifth stage is massive crackdown, banning on emotion, detachment from the various issues raised.
