    Well OK, I guess. Then why does it matter?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Then I’m a coward and proud of it. I do not feel the need to let someone who wishes I get cancer, again, participate in my threads.

    You may do as you please, I will ignore them and ban them.

Or maybe that's just how it is here, there, and everywhere.

    Do you want to lose Legina? How about USF? We should ALL have an opportunity to Post. Some of our friends here are timid, frightened of the Real World. They come here to post, but don't want any criticism or difference of opinion. I support ALL people who want to post. I support the 'thread ban' feature.
