Max, you've done the right thing. This is a cyber community, and as such, most of us are really not able to deal with really hostile, harmful individuals the way we hope we would do if something like this happened at our church, folk club, or other face-to-face communities. Therefore we really do need you to make the judgement call and I thank you for doing it this time- I've been very distressed at the upheaval in this wonderful place!
