I'm not talking about a perma ban either.
I've banned countless members over the years, some of which are still here and are great contributors.

There's a bigger picture than the here and now, oojay.
Take this thread...it should have been closed ages ago. In my opinion, all it does is lengthen the drama.
Christ, when a member gets banned these days the fallout in here continues for the duration and the returning member feels like his ban was unfair due to the amount of support they get irrespective of whether, or not they actually deserved it.
Which they always do btw!
I'm just arguing the principle of the matter, as neither one of us have a dog in this fight. But if we justify kicking out one member just to pacify the masses, what's to stop people from ganging up on someone when they get pissy and campaigning for their removal? I just don't want a vicious cycle to start just so we can kiss a few people's backsides and pacify our own egos.
