I also don't believe in the permenant banning of any individual - Its too tolatarian! It is in the nature of free speech/expression, that some will make outragous and incorrect claims and assumtions about others. Anyone with common sence can interpert the real truth on many diverse matters. Also people who have been attacked, usually have no problem(s) defending themselves, or having other's come to their defence. Perhaps one logical thing that could be done is to establish a time limit for the banning of any individual, always with an expiration time. Suggestion, 1 month first offense, 3 months 2nd offense, 1 year 3rd offense. True, the moderators would have to do a lot more work, keeping taps on what & who, and also notifying the offending party(s) why they were being temporarily banned, quoting offending post where necessary. But I think what we gain here is a forum where contridictory views can be tollorated and also tempored to some degree. Lawrence S. Tamarkin mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict!
