jdean was rather personally abusive to me and did his best to offend and goad me, yet he was never suspended. He took his ball and went home eventually because I wised up (eventually) and completely ignored him.
I don't recall if the jdean situation was in the "Free For All" but my now very vague recollections were that I thought 1) You were strong enough to take care of yourself (who here at this forum doesn't fear "the wrath of Schraf"?), and 2) You were smart enough to learn to ignore him. I think the "Wise" situation might have resolved itself eventually when people learned to ignore him, but in the meantime his input and influence was causing big messes.
That said, perhaps the powers that be were negligent in not squashing jdean.

I'd rather have an unresponsive poster around than a angry, agressive one who goes after people personally.
It was not his unresponsiveness that bothered me. It was that he thought it his right to post anything he wanted to, in any "Free For All" topic. He indicated he would cease doing such only when an official guideline rule was established saying he must. But, I think it is only common sense that, even in the "FFA" forum, a topic exists to discuss that topic.
Perhaps I should have established a special "FFA" topic just for "Wise", with the instructions that if he stepped outside of that topic, he was suspended.
Anyhow, a suspension need not be terminal. If he contacts Admin, and promises to behave, he will be reinstated.
