Lad, lad...spirit of goodwill's got nothing to do with the matter, as spirit of goodwill always exists. And your good intentions, even though I disagree, are a little spot of it, I suppose. The issue more with TDR is that the conflict carried for a long time and we tried several things before this last resolution; his behavior never changed and we were out of options. It's a system of trial and penalties and nothing more, like the way a government works. TDR would tend to be obnoxious and disruptive (in the sense that he could appear in a thread and entirely derail it, and whenever he appeared it led to a full conflict; though you could argue maybe that it was because people picked on him, but you surely don't think that in the midst of all that nobody would've tried to reason with him, do you? It had happened and failed due to his own actions).

As for picking on him in skype, there's little scope I have to that subject due to that I'm never once present for it. But I AM around Goldy and Gurgy in the IRC for the regular wiki, and I can safely say that insults between us all there are about as meaningful as a basket of orange peels. If you think whatever we say about TDR is bad, you should hear what we say about Gurgy to his face.
