In order of severity, I think we have:

- Joe Baptista
- Jeff Williams
- William Walsh
- Eric Dierker
- Sotiris, Dave Crocker, Roeland Meyer, Jefsey Morfin, Joop Ternstra, 
Patrick Corliss +++++ - all of which are capable of acting before thinking 
when provoked.

There are 2 different roles a suspension may serve:

- Allowing a person to cool down (this would have served Eric well - if he
   could have stayed offlist until the medication kicked back in, or whatever
   happened to him)
- Getting rid of permanent troublemakers in a fair manner

Given that we are one management team, I would suggest that we take it on 
ourselves that once a troublemaker is suspended at least from the GA list 
and 2 sublists, we can block him from all GA lists.

This will ensure that most "occasional flamers" are banned in only one 
place, and that consistent troublemakers know that they can be banned from 
all lists.

This can be adopted for sublists only - no need to change the rules for the 
GA list, I think.

WDYT?
