I think this thread belongs in the Watchtower.

From my point of view, a permanent ban should be reserved for the most foul offenses--threatening members, attempting to sabotage the board or raid the database for information, etc. I can see banning for a long time (a month, a quarter, even a year for gross and ongoing behavioral offenses), but permanent banning just seems ... weak to me. However, given my perceptions of the ultimate power here, based on a long period of acute observation both here and elsewhere, the use of this "Draconian" (good word, btw) approach does not surprise me. Ultimately, this is a "benevolent dictatorship," and not a democracy by any means.

BP could be crass, snide, undisciplined and very offensive--not uncommon in young men of his age and circumstance. But he also added flavor and drama to the mix here, albeit quite sour and noir oftentimes. Most young men change as they experience more life and interact with other people. If all the "mature" and "enlightened" people shunned and banished those who were not ... well, it's not hard to understand what I'm getting at.

I will miss his presence, and if the rumor of a permanent ban is true, my opinion of this board just took a big step down. My tuppence worth.
