    It is time to ban JAL. —Joel Kuester
   Hello, I have been reading a lot of the posts from Jesse Alan Long, and paying attention to the arguments going on there since they started. I have posted very rarely in response to him, mainly because I feel it has gone on far too long, as most (...) (23 years ago, 5-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)  
   
        Re: It is time to ban JAL from Lugnet. —Joel Kuester
     (...) this is the type of twisting of words that is common from JAL. This is exactly why diplomacy does not work. We have tried being nice, and he isn't stopping. (...) JAL has only argued more when we practically begged him to share his MOCs with (...) (23 years ago, 5-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.terms, lugnet.general, lugnet.people)

     (...) What can I do to say I am sorry if I have violated three different areas of your rules? I did not mean to violate the rule about profanity but even so, rules have been broken by other people and I believe that there may be some bias on Lugnet (...)

        Re: It is time to ban JAL. —Kirby Warden
     Well, if we're going to start banning people from Lugnet for cussing, I'll be more than happy to do a little research and pull up all the delinquents that I can find, and it won't be overly difficult to find a couple. However, I think that banning (...) (23 years ago, 5-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: It is time to ban JAL. —Joel Kuester
     (...) hi, To be honest, if there is anyone else who used this language, I would be all for banning them.

        Re: It is time to ban JAL. —Selçuk Göre
      (...) I don't think banning (forever) someone would be appropriate, for using a bad word in his post, not to insult someone, but just as an example, and also apologizing for this afterwards. If I remember correctly, the practice was warning and (...) (23 years ago, 6-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: It is time to ban JAL. —Eric Joslin
     (...) Many people have violated this particular ToS and not been banned.

         Re: It is time to ban JAL. —James Brown
     (...) Just a note here - Frequently, mild obscenity is let slide by because whenever someone calls the abuser on it, it pretty much invariably turns into a huge fight. Slippery slope? Yup. Ethically lax of me (and others) to let it slide? You (...) (23 years ago, 6-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: It is time to ban JAL. —Eric Joslin
     (...) No, there isn't. Both have exactly the same effect- obsceneties in a Lugnet post, violating the ToS.

         Re: It is time to ban JAL. —James Brown
      (...) <snip list, including me> OK. (...) OK. I was completely unaware that the term I habitually use was considered offensive. Now that I've been made aware, I'm voluntarily banning myself. James (23 years ago, 6-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
     
          Re: It is time to ban JAL. —Eric Joslin
      (...) As it turns out, I've just received word that JAL *has* been banned. You can consider me to be "voluntarily banning" myself as well until this is changed, although I would consider it to be more of a "this is ridiculous and I'll have no part (...)

           Re: It is time to ban JAL. Todd Lehman
       (...) JAL was not "banned" (that's a very loaded word) and as far as I'm aware, neither Suzanne nor I ever used the word "ban" or "banned" to him.

           Re: It is time to ban JAL. —Joel Kuester
       (...) Hi, I think that people were using the term "ban" because it was in the thread title that I started. I wasn't sure what word to use in place of "privileges revocation" so I guess the term stuck. You are right, of course, and the term is very (...)
