what brought you to AWAD this week? and even more curious, why did you comment on this thread?
we have, unfortunately, had several flame wars, and one person was banned. several real newcomers couldn't understand why, since many of the post looked rather 'plain' but the flamer was being troublesome all the while.
and yes, children (and adults) can change.. but they have to want to. if someone is happy being destructive, well, they have no reason to change. and won't.
if you think we haven't tried, and waited and hoped for a possitive change.. well think again..
many former regulars will not post here while the one flamer does. He was banned, and he did force his way back onto the board by threatening Anu Garg, this information is available-- its just a few pages back.
You are, of course, free to judge for your self, and it could be that 40 or so people who independantly came to the same decision are all wrong.. but i don't think so
