We don't make issues of it, for a ban is not to embarrass someone but to help them correct their ways.

Some one calling Michlow a Reprobated Heathen Backslider is a personal attack indeed.

Wouldn't that be "speaking the truth is love"?

If you are banned you will not have the ability to post in the forums. You may receive no warning before you are banned. It is your responsibility to have read the rules and to know them. If you break them it will be assumed that at the time you knew you were breaking them. With the exception of those that are just "out of control", we will follow the following rules in banned members:

Boomm, this sort of thing happens a lot around here. I know you guys can't be everywhere and can't read every post though.

I am of the mindset though, that rather than trying to ban EVERYONE, people need to just toughen up a little bit. Of course that is just my personal opinion, and as such pretty much worthless
