"It makes me afraid to post" is a bit hyperbolic. We have plenty of button
pushers who could use a time out, but you aren't one of them. Ravi was in a
class by himself. I believe he took Robin's beautiful post to heart. Maybe
he could have learned something from his mistakes if Rick had had a "three
strikes [timeouts] and you're out" policy, perhaps a warning prohibiting
gratuitous abuse. Now we'll never know. I'll miss the motherfucker.

Ravi had been booted before. He came in with guns blazing when he first
joined FFL and was soon so offensive that we had to let him go. He was later
reinstated after he appeared to have mellowed. In this latest instance, he
was booted not so much for being offensive - there are plenty of examples of
that here - but for intentionally and repeatedly violating the FFL
guidelines about posting the real names and personal details of those who
prefer to remain anonymous. As far as I know, he is only the 3rd person in
the 10-plus year history of FFL to be booted. One of those two has rejoined
and the other is welcome any time (and is a good friend of mine). Ravi will
be welcome back eventually, if I'm convinced that he has changed. But I
don't have the time to play school marm.
