Thank you Syl. My thoughts exactly.
God damn Rus. Are you deliberately
trying to get yourself banned? It's been a long time since I've seen that sort of outcry, public
and private, calling for a banning.
All you're doing is making people angrier.
But I don't think it would be right to ban you for that. (Please note that there are two more admins, so I might get over-ruled.)
I do suggest that you never mention Furls again. Even to reply to this post. (Her memory is pretty much sacred to the Watch. (And I can easily imagine her appalled laughter at the fact.
)
So, at the moment, and acting purely unilaterally, in the full and certain understanding that others may disagree, perhaps strongly, I'm going to offer you a compromise.
Clearly you're unwilling or incapable of following the advice you've received about interacting with your fellow members. But never let it be said that we're not willing to give people
another chance.
So here's my suggestion: You can post anything you like, say anything you want. But only in this thread.
Only this thread. Or any thread that you personally create. (If you create too many, we'll just merge them into this one.)
Everybody else has the absolute choice of whether or not they want to engage with you. And if they do, they do so at their own risk.
No complaints. You can quote bits of other threads to reply to them, you can tell people they're wrong or ignorant, whatever you want.
If you post elsewhere, we'll delete them. And we'll see how it goes. If your posting or style improves, the restriction might be lifted. This is a temporary solution, because we (I) don't think a ban is the best answer, even if it is the simplest.
If you don't think its an acceptable compromise, you can opt for a ban instead. Up to you.
Agreed?
