I'm sorta new and infrequent to the Flame & Community pages but I did not realize that there was a Star Chamber aspect. I don't believe in banning a contributor unless it's absolutely necessary to preserve the readability or survival of the BBS. For example, were I to post blank or cut-n-past the same replies to every post until all posts scrolled off the page, then I sould be banned for that destructive conduct towards the BBS. Were I to unequivocably physically threaten someone, than for liability reasons to the BBS, I should be banned. But I suport the freedom for all to post controversy, insults and inanity.

As to Keith, I regret to admit I've lost the serious respect I once had. I used to read all his posts and go to his site. Now especially because of his personal "outing" of RL etc., I just ignore posts with his name. Maybe after a while I'll reconsider; not than anyone other than I would care.
