I happen to agree. Since this thread started, I've exchanged a few emails with
the lovely Mr. Moulton, and I have to say, I think he may have actually crossed
the line-- just not in the way that anyone has before, I think. His admitted
intent is to create a flame war here on Lugnet. For whatever purposes he thinks
he's doing it, I don't care. His admitted intent towards Lugnet was
destructive (well, suffice to say, he's admitted his intent, and IMHO, it's
destructive-- he hasn't admitted directly to wanting to destroy/be destructive
to Lugnet) And if that intent isn't explicitly in the current Terms of Use,
perhaps it should be, if it isn't already implied enough.

I think the distinct difference between J.W. and [first choice] is that:
A. JW seemed to honestly not realize the severity of the situation. Matthew
knows it.
B. JW, being young, has great potential to change. According to Matthew, he's a
lot older, and has a vast history of flame. Not likely to change.
C. JW showed a distinct desire to change and reform himself in order to show
respect towards the community at large. Matthew has done the opposite. He's
refused to change, show remorse, or the slightest quark of respect.
Does this mean he should be permanently ousted? Maybe not. Perhaps if he shows
a willingness to change, he can appeal to Todd, whose judgement I trust in this
matter. But for now, I think it's better that he's gone.
