?  If it was up to me he would have been banned 1000 times for one month each
insulting remark.  A public explanation is not necessary in my opinion.  Only an
explanation to Vincent is required.  Is it so hard to act civil here?  I'm sure
he would not make some of his off color remarks in person because someone would
have already put him on his ass.  People feel anything goes on an internet BB
because they feel safe at home.  Insulting people over the internet has become
normal behavior for some people.  It's only one of the reasons I stopped playing
chess at ICC.  I'm happy to see a little "police" action for a change.
