Hello, I'm quite new here, so please excuse the maybe somewhat naive question: what do you (and particularly the moderators of course) think, which situations do justify a ban of a board member? My personal opininion on this is: If someone started attacking or even flaming me, I hope (=irony) that I'd be able to answer in an appropriate, civilized manner. I would not like to be "protected" by a moderator. Even personal insults don't automatically mean that I'd consider that person to be my enemy and that he/she will be put on my black list or whatever. We're all quite adult (hmm, I think...) and should be able to cope with most situations of that kind. Serious problems arise only, if people are full of their own importance. A possible reason to ban someone could be spamming of the board, however. (imho) But as long as the communication on this board is not in danger, there should be no need to intervene. Btw, I've met Chris Whittington on a German board a couple of months (1 year?) ago. Of course he has got a quite provoking style to communicate but after a short introduction of mutual faint insults we've had a very interesting discussion, I think. I do not know exactly what happened here (read: too lazy to search). But I think that it would be a pity if interesting debates don't take place just 'cos of excessive vanity... Martin
