Pardon me, Jon, but I think this is a rotten idea.
Brin-L isn't some kind of goddamned gated community with a church at one end and a golf course at the other and a set of homeowners' laws designed to keep the property values from going down. The etiquette guidelines aren't law, they're aspirations. Mark's case is a strange one, but he's not hurting anybody. I don't care what state of mind he's in, but I utterly reject the idea that any of us is qualified, merely be reading his posts, to judge him in those terms. As long as he's not hurting anybody, I don't think it's appropriate to pass judgement by trying to ban him, temporarily or otherwise. Finally, the notion that banning him is a good way to teach him "boundaries" as though he's some kind of kindergarten student, is insulting and insane. No, it's worse. It's fucking bullshit.
