Bump for Des
Please read the opening post again concerning the fora you are allowed to post on for the time being.

It would seem that once again I have been burnt for giving someone the benefit of the doubt and attempting to work with them and keep them on the forum.
I am not suspending Des at this moment, as I feel she should have an opportunity to answer to everyone. This is the last time though. The next offence will be automatic suspension without any more warning.
Comments on my actions can be made here.
Mini-Rants towards Des can be made here at Sylas's tbread.
My comment to Des:
Des, we here at EvCforum.net have bent over backwards to help you. I have ignored members that I have great respect for that saw the hypocrisy and wanted you suspended.
With one breath you speak understanding and a search for knowledge, with the other breath you spout venom and hated of those not like you.
Mark24 was well within his rights to call you on behavior that anyone with a modicum of ethics would have been ashamed to display. Your answer wasn't to support or retract your statements, it was to display even more boorish, ugly, and childish behavior.
This is your very last chance here Des. I suggest you make the most of it because I am going to take some heat for it.

Proposal for Handling Desdamona
I read three or four posts over at Sylas's thread - pretty indicting stuff. I have just a couple comments.
Many people here are aware I protect Brad McFall. I do this because I believe he has a mental disability. I base this on some hearsay information, and on my assessment of his writing based upon my own admitedly meager experience in the area of mental disabilities, though it is augmented greatly by personal experience.
The thought processes reflected in Desdamona's posts seem very familiar to me. I place myself in the forefront of individuals determined that people should not be punished for that which they cannot help. The evidence isn't even close to conclusive as to whether Desdamona might fall into such a category, but I think there is a possibility that we may be treating her unfairly.
That being said, Brad's presence here is a distraction. Old members usually ignore all but his most lucid posts, but new members are frequently confused on how to respond. Allowing more participants like Brad to have free rein is probably not a good idea.
I'm working on a software revision that will permit moderators and administrators more fine-tuned control over member participation, but the release date has still not been set, so what to do in the meantime? If the other administrators and moderators are generally in agreement, I can manually restrict Desdamona to Free For All.
Opinions?

Re: Proposal for Handling Desdamona - Agreement
I agree with your proposal. Though I do think she should be able to answer to this thread also.

Re: Proposal for Handling Desdamona - Agreement
Desdamona is now restricted from participation in the main forums, with the exception of Welcome visitors.
