The only issue for me was the ‘colourful language’.

Of course! What else are we talking about????

“
Nothing to follow. Jon expressed an opinion, and a rather benign one at that.
Is this grounds for banishment? And even if insulting is grounds for
banishment, I personally have endured countless personal attacks at the hands
of RM; far worse than this! RM?s leash is far and away longer than anyone
else?s on LUGNET, and his latest attack on Jon is IMO the lowest point to
which LUGNET has ever descended. His disdain for everything this community
stands for is contemptible. ”

What I was responding to there was Tom’s assertion that Jon be suspended as
well. I questioned whether insults were really grounds for reprimand for if
they were, RM has been guilty numerous times in the past without consequence
(long leash).

No mention of the colourful language, but the ‘disdain for everything this
community stands for’, directed as a blanket statement to Richard’s postings
in general.

No, what I meant was his willful use of vile language in this particular
post in this family forum was tantamount to flipping off the entire community.
And worse, he is not concrite in the least, and arrogantly so. These little
rules by which we all agree to play (civility chiefly among them) are beneath
him.

‘RM’s leash’--up till this point, RM has had the same ‘leash’ as everyone
else. There was no usage of foul language up ‘till this point, and he got
‘reeled in’ for the usage.
|
And that brings me back to my initial point with Tom. If Jon’s little barb is
grounds for punishment, RM should have been punished many times previously but
wasn’t.
RM’s utter contempt for this community by his purposeful use of forbidden
language in his ugly invective is what finally got him suspended.
