Brokensprocket,
I did not give Spartacus a license to behave badly. I repeatedly asked him to tone it down and I edited, deleted or unapproved (hid) his posts that I found to be in violation of the rules or just distasteful. I did that because I didn't want those coming here (media etc) to see it, not because I was trying to hide something from other posters.
As for why I waited so long and only started with a 7 day ban ... Spartacus IS a dedicated gun rights advocate and activist in the real world and puts his time and money into the struggle. The fact that he is over the top on the internet doesn't detract from that. I gave him a lot of chances because he earned them in the real world. Period. You can be angry with me for that but it is my reasoning and I stand by it.
And finally, as for your request to be banned ... I will not ban you for criticizing me. That is your right as a forum member. I am not perfect but I will always accept your complaints and tell you why I did something even if you think it is wrong.

JOHN, I do not believe you.
You gave 'Fair Warning' months ago. Instead of following through with it, you gave Spartacus a license to behave the way he does. You began to completely delete his threads to remove any evidence that he had broken a rule. Entire threads dissappeared. I feel that type of moderating in unethical.
You just banned him for seven days, TODAY! How does that old saying go, "A day late and a dollar short". One day and one dollar? It's alot worse than that.
BAN ME, SO I CAN'T COME BACK.
