It returns to the idea that somehow everyone is expected to adjust to a disruptive person, versus a disruptive person adjusting to the set standards of a forum that practically everyone else knows and accepts.
And that's not how this forum is run.
Again, choosing to ignore another member or choosing to refrain from posting is up to each individual member, as nothing is forced on anyone, just as no one is forced to come on here at all.

It's would be nice if we could all get along, but that is obviously not an option. How "disruptive" another poster is is completely relative, but all that really matters are the moderators'/admins' opinions on the matter.

Urban deciding to stop posting until he gets his way is like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum in the supermarket until their mommy gives in and buys them a candy bar. If you give in once, they will do it again and again because they know that is how they can get their way.
