Because he has done nothing worthy of banishment. I understand your sentiment, but people who contribute without breaking the rules enough times to warrant being banned are welcome here. Sure, he would not reciprocate, but I don't start behaving like people I disagree with just to get back at them for disagreeing with me. This situation is exactly what the ignore function is for. Enjoy, Jeremiah.
I understand, and I dont knock the mod team for running it their way. To be honest this is one of the first forum sites I have joined that I am not a moderator on, and I am happy about the fact. Dealing with a few hundred atheists on a Yahoo group took its toll on me, and I helped institute a "quick ban" procedure dealing with the fundies and chatty Cathy's. If someone came on a-preachin' and people started leaving the group. We banned them (or silenced them) immediately and I would personally contact the members who left to inform them that the situation was fixed and to please come back. Our atheist group that I was moderating was so popular that we were front page on the local newspaper. It was a hell of a job for me. No pay. All of the headache trying to herd cats. The experience points were worth it...we managed to get a great many number of atheists to atend a rally on the "under god" Supreme court decision.
Thats me holding the sign
These days I focus more on my Union position as loan officer for the Credit union and Examining board.
Its time for the younger generation to take a stand for the first amendment as I have, and I try to encourage them as much as possible to do so.
