    The suspension stick..

    Norm, you wield the suspension stick a bit too much. The thread has not gone to name calling and fighting and people are concerned about Ebola. The way the news media is making such a big deal about it (I wish they would make such a big deal about suicides in the militiary, about thousands dying in car accidents and such), people tend to overreact. Sometimes they have to gain some perspective and you and others have pointed this out. We do not stop going to a casino because there were some drunk driving accidents on the highway leading to the casino, do we?

    You will probably suspend me as you threatened because I made the argument that AP'ing could be considered an unethical act (like driving over the speed limit or some such act that people commit, not a big deal).

    I like this forum because it has helped me and because it does not have as many aXXXXX's as some other forums and it may be because you are very strict but I would hate to see "suspension" brought out so quickly. No offense.

    He ignored three warnings, and I have work to do. I can't babysit someone that ignores three warnings in such a tiny period of time. Also, suspensions here are actually quite rare and this is only one day.

    I'm more worried about getting the flu this season - and I'm not too worried about that.

    On a sour note this BJG suspension puts the cabosh on my upcoming thread titled "How to avoid Cooties"

    Norm - you could save yourself some grief by simply closing this inane thread.
