There was a statement in there that if he wished to discontinue this, all he had to do was quit poking. He clearly entered the Compendium thread with ill intent and intending to pick a fight- -and did. He was banned for it. Now that is quite an accomplishment on that thread. I run it pretty wide open. Currently it has only one bannee. If you look at the posters on it, you will see some of the flamingest liberals on the site. A degree of insult is also tolerated, simply because, given the differences of opinion that will occur over the matters discussed, some must be expected. However, if someone comes whose only intent is to toss out insult and contributes nothing of value, then they may expect a short life. As far as this thread is concerned, he is currently unbanned from the Compendium to give him a chance to defend himself. If he behaves in his previous manner, that won't last long.Posts from another stream or world have nothing to do with FADG, so other than to show character, they are of no interest here Trace it back, Maurice. Who shot first on this thread? IF FL intends to take action, I expect the Kid to be included. Or maybe solely the Kid. FL already has a complaint from me. If you don't want to go that far, how about an instant spot of excommunication, sanctions, blockade and travel restrictions should get them to realize that behaving in a civil manner on a small planet is in their and everyone's interests. It's a big site, Maurice. There are lots of other threads. I've got a couple of popular ones myself. Neither you noe FL need fear being banned from one of those regardless of what happens here, though. I think I can handle myself.FL, have you thought of taking over the world? Just expand this discussion and bring in voting for everyone on Earth. Easy! I'll start the Revolution.
