I banned Face. I gave him his fifth warning here and he's now banned, most likely permenently, and I have a clear conscience about it.
It's one thing to spew venom amongst ourselves in the cyber world. It's another thing entirely to take it outside of these virtual walls and into the homes of those filled with grief.
I'm not about that. I had hoped we were not about that. Two members have brought grief to a real family and to our board. I can't see a good reason for allowing them to remain as members in good standing in our community.
I'm not going to lawyer this decision to death because in the grand scheme of things, it's ultimately meaningless. I will not comment about the bannings again until one or both of the banned members approach me via e-mail to talk it over.
I will also go on record as saying that if we ever find out who impersonated me and Tamar on the funeral home's guestbook, that they too will be banned.
In closing, say what you want about me being a tryannt. Say what you want about how WF is turning into TrekBBS. But, can you not see that these actions could cost all of us our community? Are we going to let a few troublemakers end it for all of us in a pointless fit of idiotcy?
Ladies and gentlemen, if you'll spare me a cliche, this is where the metal meets the meat. This is not the WF I believe we want. If it is the WF you want, perhaps you should look elsewhere because we don't condone this.
