I have just sent the following the the Webmistress.

Webmistress,

Well, you went ahead and suspended David S for his remarks regarding Rocky on the Iomega Without Rocky thread. What else could you do?

Well, you could change your Terms of Use!

The members of this thread on a continuous basis have to endure diatribe from a person who, on the streets of this country, they could and would walk away from - but on your threads must endure.

This has nothing to do with negative statements about Iomega. It has to do with a person whose life appears to be centered on writing messages whose purpose is to aggravate. What he wants is the attention. If there were no Iomega, he would move on to another thread whose members would react to his tauntings.

Granted, the members of this thread should abstain from responding with personal attacks and instead respond to his inane and repetitious arguments. But, they don't.

I appreciate the difficulty to adding language to the Terms Of Use that will provide relief for readers of threads that have a Rocky. The problem is where do you draw the line? When do posts designed to aggravate reach a threshold where members should be provided relief?

I don't know how to define it. But, I know it when I see it. It is on the Iomega Without Rocky thread.
