>On UT's "procedures" for banishing: At least after the recent ban "baiting" was mentioned, and it was assumed that Claude [in his right mind] would have posted less emotionally. I personally have my doubts (I thought his posts in the last few weeks were getting more "charged"), but I think adding 2 timeouts as fixed steps before banning would be beneficial. Such a forced timeout might give the irate poster in danger of being expelled time to cool down before the equivalent of nuking his account. I do believe some people might be aggravated at being "silenced" even for a short time, especially if the other poster is not. But you can always offer to silence them in this forum for longer duration <g>.
