Before most members says its a good thing, be careful what you wish for. I don't like to ban members because of a different point of view, even when it is a little abrasive and insulting. What happens when a few members start complaining about another member because they don't like the way they post, will I be banning more members. This is not a precedent I want to start.
We are always going to have members we don't agree with or even like, buts that's not a reason to be banned
I get complaints about members from other members all the time. I have to look at the big picture knowing we all are not going to get along. I think everyone needs to think about why a member should be banned, there are other ways to deal with members you do not like or agree with.
Rob, your being a little disingenuous comparing the two. The classifieds rules are for fairness. Its a free service for all members and no one member should be allowed to monopolize them. If you make a mistake and email me that is was a mistake, your ban gets lifted immediately. Please in the future do not associate the two.
Well, this is what you all wanted. Its not what I wanted to do, but to keep the peace, I respected your wishes.

Ken,
If instigating, belittling, conceitedness, inciting, or just being a plain trouble maker is good for a well respected web site is tolerable, then maybe you should not have shown him the door. I think that it is much more enjoyable to see threads where friendly banter and helping each other is not only prevalent, but thriving. I don't always agree with everything that I read, but in this instance, you made the right choice (not trying to be biased).
