OK Frank, I wasn't really defending Spartacus, but bringing to everyone's attention that people like him need to go through a process, an initiation to this board. I didn't think he deserved to be banned YET, but given a chance to redeem himself.
And yes, now that you list his "attacks", I can see what I've missed and what is offensive in it's totality (I don't read the Space board much, so I've missed a few). I thought it was just his brand of humor, but can see where this COULD lead.....
We ALL have been guilty of ad-hominem attacks (well SOME of us), so I was just trying to pace the initiation stage. Listen, if the guy has ANYTHING to say, you best believe the fine hands on THIS board will give him a run for his money.
