John,

Surely you remember the huge fuss supported by Paddock and others that you created when you were thrown out? You claimed it was a breach of your rights of free speech, a draconian abuse of power, an undemocratic act that went beyond the pale.

Reviewing Sanders' behavior: first he challenged Mr Goff to a sword-fighting duel. Was this a credible scenario? If so, why are people acting as if banning him from an online forum has resolved it? Think about it.

Next he said he wanted to use a bridge as a latrine in a fashion to belittle you. That is certainly outrageous, and I can appreciate that you probably didn't enjoy it very much... but having attended University yourself, you know very well that many a future Law Professor, Surgeon or even Head of State has behaved in a similar fashion, to the delight of other future civic leaders and with great glee at the outrage displayed by appalled citizens. Again, inappropriate in a forum like this but not the "crime of the century" that some claim.

It's none of our business anyway. Whatever may or may not have happened is between Michel and his customer.
