A disturbing trend, really disturbing

[infernalis]

Now here is where I am confused.

A gift from Kyle is far and removed from intentionally picking up a gravid female for the purpose of watching babies pop out.

The thread was never even discussing gifts from Kyle.

To be quite honest, the person who inspired me the most to write that post released the queen of all gravid females back to the wild, has sent more PM messages than I can count and has been working hard to become a better garter keeper. All the while with a positive outlook, and chin up attitude. I have gladly taken that person "under my wing" and will continue to offer all I can, for as long as it is requested.

So I am very sorry if somehow you feel that you or your situation had even entered my thoughts as I typed out the initial post.

Ok... seriously? Another post like that from anyone should get them banned. Now for the first time I, too, feel very unpleasant... I hope this stops now.

I don't want to continue off topic, but I've been thinking of opening a thread to ask how everyone would feel about the 'limits'.
Maybe we can agree something about limits before bans (temporary). Just to know how everyone feels like it. A bit of the Singapore idea (does anyone know the punishments in Singapore? Spitting a piece of chewing gum on the streets, 50 lashes with a whip)

I wouldn't (didn't) ban him for this outburst, but I did point out to him that we don't talk this way on here. Were it to continue I would have placed a short ban.... and so forth. I wouldn't ban anyone without fair warning.

I agree to not banning without a warning.

I think bans should be the last resort, even when they are temporary. If someone is pissed off, then I'm sure a little outburst like that can be forgiven.

[anji1971]

Agreed.
Banning is for individuals who consistently cause trouble and insult others. We haven't had any of those kind yet.

[adamanteus]

I agree that bans should be a last resort, although I would have used a one day suspension quite willingly, if I had ever needed to (which I didn't). The only exception is the posting of pornography.. which results in an immediate and permanent ban.

[anji1971]

Well let's hope anyone into that kind of thing is on a completely other kind of forum!!

[GartersRock]

Thats good to here (about the pornography)
