I think the above may be too much work.

Let me say, after I have thought about this problem,  I think a *total* list
ban will be the best way to go.

As far as these:

 - Joe Baptista
- Jeff Williams
- William Walsh

If any have *one* more, a 6 month ban should be placed on them.

- Eric Dierker...A two week ban for the next complaint.

The rest of them should get a Warning, than a two week boot!

IMHO.........

In order of severity, I think we have:

- Joe Baptista
- Jeff Williams
- William Walsh
- Eric Dierker

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?
