That I _know_ is wrong.  IE I believe that _every_ group of moderators
has had to threaten Vincent with a ban if he didn't stop his ridiculous
forms of posting.

Vincent knows what he is doing.  He knows it is improper.  So long as he
gets away with it, he won't stop.  Have you noticed how much quieter and
politer it has been for a few days?
