So can some longtermers answer Rich's question?
Is he going to get screwed over for sending a PM with a forum link or anything trivial of that nature?
My personal feeling is we've never operated that way. Everything has always been very transparent. Yes....I know I've banned loads over the years......in fact I've retired more men than Social Security. But that was only as a last resort when all other attempts at reasoning with them had failed. I mean, how many chances did Flouncing Floater get FFS?
I've banned people who are actually members here now, I've demoted people who are here now! They were all friends of mine but I had no other option.
Essentially, everybody has to conform to the same standards.....including me! But let's be honest......we don't set the bar particularly high do we?
