PC Free has been banned.

[Guest guest]

" I have been on sites where moderators let bullies rule the roost and

it's not fun... it feels like the playground in grade school all over

again.

" Dragging things out is just messy, hard on your nerves and the

moderators nerves, and not helpful for the purpose of the community. "

PC Free has been banned by me today. I would have done it earlier but

I have been in transit between the US and Canada, and I have also been

delayed by business. Only now, at 2:47 AM Canada time have I had a

chance to look at the forums to see what is going on.

The reason for the banning was NOT the argument PC was making about a

9/11 conspiracy, but the rude behavior toward .

1) If anyone thinks my resolution harsh, let me just say that I have

learned from experience that letting stuff drag out too long seems

never to solve the problem and only antagonizes members.

2) If anyone thinks I banned PCfree because he was antagonizing a

moderator, let PC's own words show that he thought he was antagonizing

a member. Here at FAM, the admins are willing to take a bit of abuse,

but we are not willing to let the members be abused. Since PCfree

thought he was arguing with a member, and then persisted after

explained what is role is here, it seemed apparent that PC's behavior

was not going to change.
