3rd strike laws have never worked as a deterrent. You just get people with 3rd strikes.
Pleased to see your explanation.
Now I can more or less agree with you and still say you are generally wrong. there is no mild punishment or social pressure on Fly. The problem with P is Fly's behavior is approved of by the local kids and supported by the moderation. Maybe that's not a problem with P at all, some obviously think it's a good thing and helps make P so marvelous.
Meaningless temp bans for his behavior are like being scolded by a winking policeman. Culture matters and the current culture doesn't just tolerate the Fly persona, it encourages it and uses it.
