I concur.

Instead of being reasonable, both sides are purposely being unreasonable and
bringing their unreasonableness to this forum.

Instead of dropping the issue and going back onto the server (how many messages
did you post on this Mark?), Mark is playing the martyr and "sticking to his
principles". Although principles are a good thing, people who are constantly
looking for "social injustices" and casting aspersions on others, especially for
such a trivia issue quickly lose their credibility in a forum such as this.

And Mr. Boehm banning Mark for violating the server rule in such a circumstance
is also being unreasonable.

It doesn't matter that much who is in the right and who is in the wrong on such
a minor issue, what matters is how you handle the disagreement. If the two of
them do not shake hands and resolve the issue like gentlemen, I think we should
just ignore them.
