I don't advocate personal attacks in the threads, but banning knowledgeable members (or some who think they are knowledgeable) depletes the knowledge pool...

Trolls should be banned. OTOH, there are members here who have answers to our questions but prefer not to answer unless annoyed...

Doesn't matter. It's not my forum, I don't get to choose. If I did, I would rule with an iron fist...

Wouldn't an Iron Fist make it difficult to properly hold a Luger?

I prefer to rule with a Moderator's mouse-click in the "banned" checkbox on their user profile!

In reality, you would be surprised how many people have actually been banned since the forum started ...
Only 59 have been banned, out of 11,291 registered users... that is less than half of 1 percent.

You really have to push hard, or prove you are a total whackjob in your first couple of posts to get banned. Most who have violated the "rules" actually responded in a positive manner when warned... but 59 have not.

Not a bad record if I do say so myself.
