Did you pay attention to his rants? Did they offend you? When I said "does not deserve our attention" I meant that what he was spewing did not deserve to be placed in front of us to pay attention to. And there are remedies for people doing such things. He is not a child. He is an adult. He was warned. He ignored every request to tone it down and be pertinent to the forum.

Where is the all-or-nothing position? Someone carries things to extremes and gets the boot. Sort of like getting a few speeding tickets and eventually loosing your license. Willful disregard of the rules has consequences. Since when is that treated as being something extreme on the part of the police and the judge? The "extreme" was on the part of the miscreant who refused to abide by the rules. Just sped away from each traffic stop by going faster.
I'm tired of the excuses for errant behavior. They don't work. They just encourage more of the same.
