This is what is great about this place: we're all different and see things in sometimes completely different ways. My argument is effective whether you choose to agree or not. Corrective action? By whom? You? OK, write a report, investigate, schedule a meeting with the boss. Or just decide who belongs and who doesn't. You're apparently more than qualified.

No, the slippery slope is a bad tool in a debate because it is easily deflected. Exaggerated examples of what could happen are just that -- exaggerated. When did I say I would be deciding? I said put it to a popular vote.

Exaggerated notions of what is right and wrong are just that--exaggerated.

Go ahead, get a vote. I think you will find that most Cellarites will not vote to ban an established individual, whether they like said individual or not. With all our faults, arguments, and jeering, we understand that with the good Cellar comes some bad Cellar. But I, for one, appreciate your efforts to clean the place up for us.

And look, all bickering aside, I just don't think it's right to throw hurtful insults at people on purpose. That's all. I have to go to work anyway so the poll will have to wait for a few hours unless someone else wants to post it.

That said, if Drax and Spex suddenly stop then I don't have a problem with it. I've just seen them say that they would stop before and nothing happened.
