Well since everyone seems to contributing their 2cents I may as well throw mine in the lot as well. I think James is entirely justified in removing someone he has warned repeatedly from his list. However I also think that absolute blanket punishment doesn't solve anything. How about a timed suspension or something. You know, give him a chance before the parole board to see if he gets time off for good behaviour. Everyone seems to be split right down the middle given that one the one hand Olin is an asset to the list and on the other that this list only exists out of the good graces of someone who is fed up with Olins firey responses. The list isn't a democracy but it isn't a gas chamber either, how about giving Olin a second chance when the dust has settled? Cheers, Damien Cahill. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
