well, we tried to reset but it wasn't long before the shadow of a troll came rolling along and jim and others couldn't help but get annoyed. i usually withdraw for a bit until he pushes one or more of my buttons.......they give birth astride a grave the light flashes an instant and then it's dark once more.....Mod would it possible to ban Ian for, say, 6 weeks. just as an expirement - that's all - with the expectation that he comes back after that if he wants to? obviously it wouldn't solve all the problems and others may step up to the abusive plate, then suspend them. some of us do enjoy a political discussion and i don't see why this topic has to be all or nothing. like a football match - you have the choice to wave a yellow card.
