When you were a teacher and you had disruptive students who refused to behave and follow the class rules for behavior, and wouldn't contribute to the learning process because they didn't care about learning, did you stop the whole class and waste everyone's time trying to get them to grow up and participate constructively? Would that help the rest of the class or just reward the immature attention seekers? This isn't a school playground where we are obliged to indulge very childish brat who comes along and wants to start a food fight. There are too many important issues to discuss constructively to waste our time with the ranters and ravers and taunters and table pounders. Enjoy reading them on other threads. They are free to do what they like there.

In his defense and in the defense of some others who appear on the banned list they did have some contributions to make. ML, I assume you meant this post for Dale since I don't control membership on this thread. There are, for instance, some on that list I would have banned, had I been running the thread, and some I would not have. As for Michael, greenspirit, I would have banned him much earlier. He was only hear for the mischief he could create. Hoped to get regular posters here to attack him so he could then go to Dale to get them banned. Just childish.
