It's a shame. I wish it were true

I support bans (in internet fora). How else do you promote corrective behavior? After warnings and suspensions fail to get the point across, you have to regretably drop the guillotine sometimes or all the threats are meaningless. Ever watched parents who threaten their children with discipline but never actually carry it out? The kids figure out eventually that the parents are bluffing and just ignore them. That's what forums are where there is never punishment for bad behavior.

To be clear, when we say "ban" we mean "suspension". In the case that started this discussion 3 days.

"Bans" are reserved for over the top behavior, trolls, and spammers. In that order.

Who got banned? I still haven't gotten an answer.

I'm afraid I agree with this. Back in the day I got cyps all the time. I never got banned but damn if ntl didn't want it to go that way. I was Jud Nelson and ntl was the principal in breakfast club. Ntl kept daring me to step over that line. Just begged me. And I would a little. And then gem (molly ringworm or whatev)would be like wtf are you doing. And I could see the concern and sincerity of her internet face and I'd back off. Then ntl would pompously walk off with toilet paper hanging out his backside. Or maybe I just dreamt it. Anyway ntl straightened my shit out pretty good. So yeah, it does work

I texted him at 3am est and he hasnt replied. Still licking his wounds I guess. I'll try him again. Not that I give a rats ass but I have nothing better to do. We should give him a nice welcome back. You know, for all that beer he swindled for us on that roofing job
