Asked to wiegh in, so...
Just joined, not really up on the history of this issue, but I feel the entire argument is a moot point.
It would seem that some people are going to follow the rules and some aren't. We're dealing with a human nature issue here.
I'm quite pleasantly surprised at the consistant level of intelligence and forethought of most of the posts on this forum. I'll try like hell to live up to it. I've not yet read anything that has come close to offending me. The random "attack" comes as part and parcel with an open forum.
And of course, every so often someone's going act the fool - I'm sure I will- but, like it or not, it's going to happen. A "ban" does nothing but provoke the banned individual to return with greater vitriol. So you can ban and feed the fire, or you can be patient and not sweat the small stuff.
Just my opinion, but what do I know? I'm an asshole.
