In Response To: Re: GR Banned (Al Gunther)

While others occasionally flaunt one or another of the guidelines, Mr. Roberts consistently flaunted most of them. I then specifically asked him to follow the guidelines and based his banning on a zero tolerance policy.

The guidelines are intended as just that: guidelines. I think following the guidelines makes the BBS more informative and useful for everyone. I ask people to police themselves and don't mind the occasional lapse. Mr Roberts didn't want to self police in any way, and in almost so many words asked me to do it for him. While I can delete offending posts, I don't have time or inclination to review everything from a writer as prolific as Mr Roberts. He had moved beyond the point where I had the patience to be more selective.

Like I did with Mr Roberts, if others start flaunting the guidelines beyond my tolerance level, I will let them know before I take any more action. This was not the first occassion that I had found it neccessary to warn him and as a result I was less tolerant and took more drastic action.

: I would be beneficial to me and possibly others for you to state what part of
