Tony2018 has been banned as a sock puppet of YuanshenHao

seriously disabled has been suspended a year for continued disruption through thread hijacking. We are hoping the time can be spent getting help and sorting out personal issues. Disruptive posting to get attention is not the right path for that.

december6543 and science2008 are added to this list. 

1x0 has been permanently banned from accessing the site for continued thread hijacking, and generally spouting nonsense. 

kfburke39@gmail.com has been banned because civility is too important to us to allow them to stay.

Philip K. Dick has been banned for being virtually nothing but abusive in his short time here. 

steveupson has been suspended for once again hijacking threads (i.e. talking about your own interests rather than the issues of the OP) 

NortonH is suspended three days for soapboxing (refusing to answer relevant questions) and thread hijacking (dragging dirty laundry from closed threads into active ones)

And also for calling everyone a troll while engaging in trollish behavior. The suspension should give people time to do maintenance on their irony meters.

 

 

NortonH has been suspended for 3 weeks for continuing to soapbox his points in conversation. When you don't bother to address valid arguments in the discussion, you're just preaching, or soapboxing, and that's against the rules. People are taking the time to deconstruct your arguments intellectually, the least you could do is reciprocate, instead of just repeating yourself ad nauseam.

Lasse has been banned as a sock puppet of 1x0

Raider5678 has been suspended for six months at his own request, in order to pursue employment and educational opportunities in a less tempting and more focused manner. We wish him all the luck in the world, and hope to see him back in time for the holidays.
