I can understand a temporary ban (like in ice hockey), a sanction for an evident bad behaviour. But banning someone forever means: "We don't believe you will amend, ever". Seems a little out of phase, for a gathering of people united by their interest in litterature.

Just curious, really.

This is a great subject on its own, but every forum around has permanent bans available and in use.

Forum management always has a difficult enough time, with just about every moderator everywhere being a volunteer, that some people end up taking up a lot more time than they're worth and the answer is to ban them.

Is it fair? I think so - forum owners don't get rich off them, they own the place, why shouldn't they just say, "Go away and never come back"? Then hit the permenent ip ban button and presto, problem over.

Well, since I recruit mostly engineers, and some of them only move at "dead slow", it mightn't be a bad idea!

Funny you should say that because here is George Shearing playing 'The Shadow of Your Smile', and actually finishing with a touch of Bach.

Which would explain why the idea to call them "Freedom Fries" when the war first started never really caught on too well

We just love our McDonald's french fries way too much.
