Hmm, you have my jimmies rustled. I have no idea why you would choose this tone with me tbh. I know a little about running Internet forums and agree that posters have to go if they are considered too disruptive or confrontational.
I do however believe that on a site as big and diverse as this one which contains niche forums and has sections that don't crossover with others - blanket site bans are not the best way forward. Thremp had his place on the SB forum. Sure, those smacked down by him were irked - but SB isn't (or shouldn't be) a chit chat forum. There was money to be made, and a dude like Thremp had value just like a talented poker player has value in theory forums - even if they are blunt and impolite.
Ban him from SE or OOT? Sure, can't really argue with that.
