I think the real problem is that some are going to color decisions based on the full scope of information available. To imagine that we can simply ignore all knowlege of someone who is operating as a complete whinging twit elsewhere and make a rational decision based purely on logic and data available at this forum is not realistic for some, myself included. If I think someone is a bad egg and they act up here, I would simply be more inclined to take harsh action. Human nature (at least *my* human nature) will probably get in the way of a stoic approach. Even if we think we can completely detach ourselves, is it really honest to think so? On the one hand, I greatly prize the value of freeness of speach. On the other hand, this entire forum was invented simply because r.g.c.c. was being used as an outhouse. The job of the moderator is to prevent ccc from becoming an outhouse, so that some new solution does not have to be invented. Brains being what they are, and mine being a bit defective, renders completely detached decision makeing a very difficult process. Others may be able to do so, based (perhaps) on their personalities. IMO-YMMV.
