...yes, the Joe question is a difficult one. i recall a time where i
thought very highly of him...indeed, it took a long long time for him to
erode my impression of him...a long time and several thousand posts.
however it is a bit daunting to actually ban someone. i agree with Jake for
the most part, but we've never had to ban anyone and it's a bit of a sad
thing to start doing so now. Joe seems to have gotten a little better as of
late, i therefore wonder if he couldnt make further efforts in this
direction of self-moderation, and more controlled passions. i suspect that
Joe has incidentally wound up in a personal space somewhat like a hole where
he cant see the landscape around him...just the walls of his hole. i think
other people/situations dug the beginnings of this hole for him, but he's
done an outstanding job of continued digging - whereby he no longer sees
things as they are.
...Joe, is it not reasonable that you should be able to see that by
accounting for more posts than the next 13 people combined, youre really
straying off on your own here? and that other CoVians are extremely miffed
by the results? the word "abuse" seems to apply here, doesnt it? anyways,
that's my two cents.....edit thyself a bit i would say.

Jake is right.
That said. I think the crime of topic spam should be enforced in a manner
similar to verbal attacks. I do not think banning Joe is the answer. I think
even objectivly, he has been a great asset to the church. The time since
9-11 has made the split between personalities here at the CoV more evedent.
If 9-11 never happened, I think you might feel a little differently about
Joe.
None the less, the spam has got to stop, and the taunting has got to stop. I
prefer the rule of the Sheriff and our law, to simply takin' him to the
tree.
