I understand that he has a confrontational style. There are others who post here who are as confrontational.

If you want him to be allowed to post without being allowed to post, then you have a tall order. Most of the letwingers here ignore his posts anyway.

He is a decent person. You might try pointing out what he is doing to offend you and ask him to cooperate. Maybe you did that previously; if you did I missed it.

There is no guarantee that he will respect your wishes, but if you give him a couple warnings rather than let other subject members define how they want the subject to be run, you will be being fair. Since there have never been any bans that I recall, you probably are anyway.

Has "Long n Short" been banned permanently from the board? I hope not, as it could be interpreted that he actually does have a valid argument.

Perhaps he should have been been banned temporarily for repetitive OT spamming political type posts, but we can all learn from our mistakes.

He may be wrong in many matters, but he does have a sense of humour. Surely a permanent ban is unwarranted?
