DJ, I try very hard to communicate the problem I see to the person involved, quietly, and if he/she persists then they have to pay the consequences. But every consideration is given and offered before being banned.

Of the eight to ten banned, all came back but three. Those three posts as guests from time to time but have not rejoined. They have however also not caused anymore hurt feelings or arguments.

I had a brain storm one day as how to remove myself as moderator and remain just as a member so no one had me to be mad at, and complain to constantly looking for favoritism, which they never found...

PM me and I will share my secret, NOTHING has ever worked so well and several other well known sites have contacted me and copied my method...It truly works magically!
