Is it better to ban someone from a message board..

[SteveBsjb]

Oh, man, the replies in this thread. I laughed, I cried. Some were great answers exactly what I wanted to hear (particularly LJ's response regarding banning those spewing your personal info, or kiddie porn), some where well thought out and maybe rehearsed (UT's), some were attacks rather than answers some were answers but meant to attack.

About AG, there is an owner there that does ban spammers and trolls, but they have to go a LONG way to get banned. I've never had an account banned, actually I only have one. But, Flint's right, the owner of AG only keeps it open because he has a soft spot for us.

And, can I say that I don't enjoy others telling me that I "might enjoy" another message board? It's like "don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out". I like The Cellar.

I really appreciated UT's answer that included some history, because I enjoy the idea of a message board as an interactive hobby. That's why I'm here everyday.
