No exception to the >>rule, no matter if person x posts gazillion of on topic posts, too. Reason: >>Protecting the victims of personal attacks, legitimation of any kind of >>moderation efforts. >> >>Moritz I don't totally agree... because that is the reason we study "history" in school... things have a way of repeating themselves. If I see someone that is abusive, rude, uses bad language, is dirty, etc, out in public, I can make a reasonable decision to not invite him hime, nor to invite him to a scout meeting, or any other "private" group meeting, based on the strong belief that he will behave the same as he did in public. In Rolf's case, he's been reasonable for a month in r.g.c.c and it seems reasonable to offer him the opportunity to be reasonable here. Sean is quite another matter because he is just as bad today as he was a month ago, and for my money he can stay "out"... Because he *refuses* to stop his nonsense. But Rolf might well become a valuable contributor, given the chance. We'll see...
