But that's precisely the point. You know EXACTLY how Cavin will react. And yet you rise. Why? Just ignore him says I. In the years that LUG existed, before you joined, I do not recall anyone being banned. Or threatened with a ban. I almost feel like reaching for that biblical phrase*. The negative influences are a) provoking the man when you know what he is like and b) Rising when he acts true to character. Ignore him. You ignore posts that you find uninformative/unimportant, why not his?
