I've been away for the weekend and sat down over an hour ago to catch up with you all. As is my habit, I began by reading Morons. I've been actually wringing my hands trying to make a decision as to what to do about Emile Vidrine. It is with the deepest regret, TLC, that I cannot sign the petition as it stands. I do, however, implore SI to quickly do a thorough review of Mr. Vidrine's posting history with an eye toward removing him for Terms of Use violation. If the SI administration needs some extra hands to help cull through his posts, I hereby volunteer to do so. If there are any others who can give some time in this effort, please volunteer as well. In the meantime, I will make a promise to never post to Emile Vidrine again, other than to ask him to leave the thread. Perhaps if enough of us do this, the SI administration can enforce an ouster of a member whose primary action on this website has been hatemongering.
