Not doing so would be for what? Because it might piss off some people in the forum?
Gandalf, dang, that's why you shut them down with a temporary ban - they cant "fire off in our face". You don't have to hear them rant about Nazis and such. Not until they've suffered (and at this point, for the good of Shrapnel's image, and the general community well being, it should be made public somewhere) a temporary ban of some sort.

If they come back after that ban, still spitting venom, well there you go - they asked for it, I mean really, not an innuendo "they asked for it", but a fully public, demonstrably to all, asking for it.

If Trumenator or Frozen Lama had been publicly warned (lets just forget about the other two at this point) and kept out of the forums for some period of time, but then came back blazing away with piss and vinegar, I would say "let em' rot!".

But the way they were canned, I don't like it. I don't like it enough to make a more or less lurker like me get all upset enough about it to spend an evening posting about it.

Well, I'll get busy with real life soon enough, that or my wife will yell at me for wasting time while bombs go off in NY, oil destroys Mardi-Gras, and Greeks riot in the streets, etc., etc... And then Shrapnel wont have to worry about me so much.

But I still wont like it, I just wont post so much.
