Banning people is only useful in very rare occasions. Generally, these guys are simply looking for a "rise" from you guys. If you can just take the humour from it and discard that which offends you, then you can go with it. Too many people here take themselves FAR too seriously at times. And as for "protecting the books" ........they do not need it. From my experience, the books are able to do whatever they want to the client and get away with far too much as it is (certain books that is).
The voice HERE should be for the PLAYER IMO.
Banning shouldn't be done by a person who has a personal issue with the offender. It really should be a "Poll" event if bannings are even necessary.
