In theory, yes. It has been done once before. In practice, if Jeroen
kicks Erik based just on what we've seen on-list so far, I'll counter
it. And Jeroen is a lot fonder of talking about kicking people than I
like, personally.
(And I think that the baiting would be reduced if Jeroen stopped making
such a big deal over it. I think that everyone is either sick of it or
enjoying some amusement at Jeroen's expense, and that the only practical
thing Jeroen can do about it is to just refuse to respond to Erik's
posts for a couple of days.)
