while giving Niceguy a pat on the back I don't think you should lumpNiceguy and Paul together just because they are at extremes of the spectrum. Niceguy is often overenthusiastic, and he gets criticised for this by both Intellabees and AMDroids alike. But you cannot argue that he does not spend time thinking about what he posts, whether you agree with it or not. Specifically, Niceguy does not - try and score points with one liners - deliberately goad other posters - use offensive product names - take comments out of context to try and divert the course of a discussion - post out-of-date information repetitively. Many of us have put up with Paul's disruptions because he provided a valuable contrarian viewpoint. But, to be quite honest, you are now providing that much more effectively than Paul ever did.

wannab: "I also believe this is true, which is why I find it upsetting that this forum wants to ban Paul, while giving Niceguy a pat on the back. Paul deserves to stay as a member, at least as much as Niceguy does" Spare me, please...I don't stoop to personal affronts with almost every post...The rules dictate a base level of decorum, and that is the sole issue of the vote, so please don't attempt to twist that one by making statements like the one above...Paul has been warned and previously suspended for sinking below a descent level of respect in his posts and now Paul is being judged with respect to his performance against this benchmark...I'm surprised that Paul hasn't taken the hint...I really am beginning to believe that it was a PH.u.D that was bestowed upon Paul.
