While I know and understand that many of the members here are regular posters on other forums/communities etc. I generally do not, not from lack of interest, but a lack of time. So the vast majority of time I dedicate to online poilitical discussion is here, this includes my role as a moderator.In my time here, I have seen many fads come and go, cycles of ideology based members and have overall seen a number of various personalities come and go, and more than a few have stayed for a long period of time.In the recent months a particular poster has taken repeated personal attacks at me and while I have generally taken the high ground in dealing with this poster, it became necessary for a ban from the forum to take place. Recent posts, blog entries, and thread starters that I will highlight in continued posts will illustrate the necessity for these actions for all of the members to see.I would also invite discussion on how you would deal with such a member.
