I *do* think Matthew should be banned for his deliberate and malicious attack

If it was posted here I would agree but I don't think it was.  It may have
been posted on his site or sent to Todd and then he admitted to it here but I
don't think he made the attack on LUGNET.  He has admitted to starting an RTL
flame war 3 years ago, thats a long time and even if he admits it, he *may*
have outgrown it.  Now I think he did directly threaten Todd and/or LUGNET
but not in a post so I don't know if the LUGNET TOS applies, thats up to
Todd to determine.

I can't recall where exactly he said it (in a couple places, I think), but
Matthew admitted in a post on Lugnet that he faked the content on his website
and made the inflamatory remarks that he did specifically to damage the Lego
community.  IMO, that's where he crossed the line. (my personal line - I don't
know about other people, or where exactly he crossed the line WRT Lugnet ToS)

If that sort of activity *isn't* ToSable, it should be.

Although we hope that everyone can play well together, we must reserve the
right to allow or to refuse access to this site to anyone, for any reason,
with or without prior warning or explanation.

There ya go.  Black and white acknowledgement of the right of refusal, with
implication (as I read it, anyway) that it may be used for people who
don't "play well"
