Paul,
While I'm tempted to go for the death penalty, I really didn't make
clear what I was wanting to do. My plan was to simply start taking a
pretty hardline approach to his posting behavior by hiding the crap that
would fall under a generous (or, perhaps, ungenerous from his point of
view) reading of the current policy. I also wanted to be consistent by
dealing the same way with his "buddies"/alter egos (primarily "True
American" and "bfd") when they do the same (which is most of the time
with them), so I probably also focused a bit too much on him.
I think we would be within the existing policy to do so. The last time
he got out of hand, he whined but he did back off, for awhile. And it
would provide more ammo for Steering if we went about it in that way,
because I think the third time is definitely an out, in this case.
And I agree with the posting of a note to him, as a comment to replace
the displaced ones, which he will surely miss, stating that he's had his
second warning (and anyone "else" involved in the same silliness, their
first.)
However, I would not be adverse to going straight for a public hanging,
either, as his presence as a whole has clearly been, from the start,
disruption. But I did want to clarify that what I think we should do now
is a more selective cull, adding in your suggestion that we make it
clear that he's on permanent thin ice at this point.
