I've been away for the weekend and sat down over an hour ago to catch up with you all. As is my habit, I began by reading Morons. I've been actually wringing my hands trying to make a decision as to what to do about Emile Vidrine. It is with the deepest regret, TLC, that I cannot sign the petition as it stands. I do, however, implore SI to quickly do a thorough review of Mr. Vidrine's posting history with an eye toward removing him for Terms of Use violation. If the SI administration needs some extra hands to help cull through his posts, I hereby volunteer to do so. If there are any others who can give some time in this effort, please volunteer as well. In the meantime, I will make a promise to never post to Emile Vidrine again, other than to ask him to leave the thread. Perhaps if enough of us do this, the SI administration can enforce an ouster of a member whose primary action on this website has been hatemongering. Respectfully, Poet

<<If his commentary is disruptive and upsetting to the other patrons, the proprietor certainly has the right to ask him to leave. No different than a restaurant, theater or a public event. >> simple.

That makes total sense to me. Those are very close to my own thoughts on the subject. You'll notice that all I asked for yesterday was a vote on kicking the man off SI. I gave my reasons. I look at it just like you do; it's not a right to post here. Anyone who thinks this guy has the right to post whatever he wants needs to read the links I posted on the header. Then read all my prior posts to him (on my profile page)and Emile's response to the thread. #reply-5510971 Who is lying? Who is calling names? Who is breaking the rules? I hope he got suspended for those posts, he deserves it, IMHO.
