Hi Bruce: Just a question: in which ass Chris has been so awful a pain, this time? Not in mine, for sure. Nor in Ed' ass, for sure. At least not now. He has made consistent and harsh but acceptable judgements about all this fuss related with the tourn but I have not seen any insult againts nobody. That's all. If I am wrong, please correct me. Yes, he was banned years ago, but, how much time he must stay so? It was a perpetual ban? And he should change his way, sayings and style in order to be pardoned? I do not believe that is fair. I do not believe moderation consist in trying that people fits certain style. You are a moderator, not a tutor. I agree that he could become a pain in the ass for all hands, but I believe we should wait that happens again, if happens. This idea to punish before the crime in order to avoid the eventual crime is enterily new to me. As much as posts are acceptable, they must stay AND also his author. If he is not anymore acceptable, then he can be banned again, BUT then for new crimes, not for the old ones and the probability he will sin again. What's more, the so called venenous way of writting that Chris suposedly cultivates has at least the virtue of being open and clear, besides being witty and always to the core. He is almost ever a fresh new vision even if you -and me many times- does not like it. You maybe will say there is nothing new and fresh because Chris always comes to attack somebody, right, but even so it is amusing the way he does so. That is a lot of a benefit. You know, sometimes this place goes to the very fringe of death because of boredom and platitudes. Chris is a kind of a brutal surgeon with expertisse to cure that ailment. Of course you does not think this way, but I could not coerce myself not to tell you this. My best Fernando
