>Point of fact, those threats (and there were a good half dozen of them) were made in late July 2004 by William Sanders.
>When I traded messages with Michel over this, I was given a reply about "context" and the amount of research it would take. I did not agree with lifetime bans, but definitely thought Sanders had more than deserved measurable time in the penalty box.

>Aside from a few supporting posts from folks like Jos Pols, most of the Fox community said very little over a person making multiple threats about boarding a plane for Allentown PA to meet up in real life at 5 AM for a sword duel. When I asked one VFP stalwart about it, the reply was, "Well, what would you like me to say?"

>Sanders was ultimately banned in early September 2004, only after some vulgar exchanges, and only when Michael saw an opportunity to ban JVP at the same time.
I think having him fly to Allentown PA and spending a day (or even two days) there should have been a good punishment for him lol
