What happened was that rather than responding to the issues in a person's posting, somebody tried to censor that individual, intimidate them, silence them, and prevent them from posting, by sending them hatemail. The criminal act of the fool in this instance was an act of intended censorship. The possible remedies suggested included a warning, a temporary suspension on the second offense, and revocation of privileges if and only if further acts of attempted censorship took place. In this case, the censors *ARE* the criminal fools. Do you still wish to be counted with them? --Mark
