In Reply to: If Covert goes... posted by Cygnus on April 03, 1999 at 14:43:01:
Hi Cyg,
I'd be sorry to see you go over this, or for that matter, Covert to go over this - not just the banning, but the potential he gets disenfranchised.
Nonetheless, Covert was the one who took Rick over the brink - we all know that Rick and a number of the administrators take issue with personal attack and insult (and feel this detracts from the board). As much as Rick might have fallen into the trap himself, in the circumstance, making an example of Covert (and Rick?) may encourage other posters to think about how they can get their message through to the board (including the JWs) without the vitriol.
That's my 2c worth - like many of us, I'll have to find ways of limiting my scathing satire.
Love,
Andrew.
