Returning to the beginning of this thread
Unfortunately without enforcement, misconduct against the board rules will proliferate. Appealing to better angels has proven hopeless.
Rather than be banned it would be far better those banned obey board rules and post positively on this board. I believe banning is not a good thing and to be avoided if at all possible.
Funny how Keiths attacks in violation of board rules did not breed a moderator response, At least one we could see, but when responded to in kind, it did. Sad that Keith was not corrected sooner, or more often. Unfortunately Keith is not unique in his violation of board rules. There are others who did not get banned, but it is likely because they were not involved in that particular melee or they would have been banned for a time as well.
Maybe we should thank SDH for not taking it anymore? His sacrifice resulted in Keiths absence.
As to the discussion of SDHs now deleted posting, I do not believe the post was fully true, in fact I think it a good bit of it tongue and cheek baiting rather than fact. It appears more designed to bait, likely in retribution for insults delivered from Keith. Hardly surprising given Keith regular baiting attacks and further the vile nature of many of his insults. Some kernels of truth? Likely, but all true ?
While I may have no affection for Keith I doubt he is completely as described.
It is not in SDHs post we find the best description of Keith; it is found in reading Keiths posts, his own words Best Demonstrate the person he is.
