I fear only God and a permaban. Everything else is just details.

My personal philosophy coming into any online community to which I am new, is basically that I am at the equivalent of being sat at the children's table during a holiday meal. You kind of are stuck there while people talk over your head until you've made enough of a contribution to the conversation to be lent some credibility in the discussion. I think it is a fair comparison to make especially in a community like TL where there is that 4% in so many threads that have known each other for so long.

BerkmanZ's account is older than mine and somehow he hasn't figured out basic courtesies when he was trying to foster discussion that has been had and closed several times over. I think the chiding, specifically in the ultralisk thread, was fairly standard thoroughfare, but when he made the "Dear TL...why?" (pity party) thread about his one warning and closed thread, that he opened himself up.

Learning through experience, we'll have to see what his next post is like assuming he even makes one. Personally I am surprised GMarshall didn't tag him with at least a temp.

Something a lot of people on tl seem to miss (I've noticed it both here and in the ABL, notably), is the virtue of compassion. Whenever someone gives a two day ban, or just a warning, someone seems to feel like it's "not enough", and they miss the point of the action entirely. Many times much more is achieved by compassion than by crushing the offender under your heel. With mercy, you create good feelings and turn bad behaviors into constructive ones, while by not staying your hand, you instead create further resentment. That is not to say that there aren't times when the fullest punishment is called for, but I feel that it is wisest to err on the side of mercy, there is always time to ban someone, but the hate created by banning rarely heals.

A post I made in the TL Mafia banlist applies here. I'm just going to quote myself
