+1 The women at the beach thing was way out of line,IMO. I wouldn't mind seeing it taken down if it is still up. T456

See the link.
On the broader topic, I don't know what you can do here. The guy has a 15+ year history of abusive posts, followed by suspensions, followed by outright bans, followed by new monikers and so on. Lather, rinse, repeat.
But if you think that a 30-day suspension is going to improve his behavior, then I'm reminded of the definition of insanity that is so often attributed to Einstein.
Happy listening,

Regarding your other point, yes, it is getting to the point of insanity. Beyond an outright ban, what would you suggest?
As I said, "I don't know what you can do here." I'm very sympathetic to your plight. You can ban him every time he comes back, but history shows he'll just make up a new moniker, get a new ISP and return.
One thing I suppose we can all do is refuse to reply to his posts, i.e. don't feed the trolls. Easier said than done.
Happy listening,

A couple of folks ALWAYS seem to reply. It's as if they can't help themselves (like when I post about babe musicians, there are always at least a couple of offendees who never fail to reply!). ;-)
If a threat of physical violence isn't enough for an outright ban,what is? Maybe require him to put up a photo of himself in a bathing suit?

Maybe time to have another "moderators' conference".

has its own issues with overly, err "passionate" members who all seem to rant about the same issues:
"Do any sane people like classical music?
The more convinced I'm becoming that a large proportion of the audience for classical music are barking mad - at least to judge from this discussion board. And so I was wondering whether there is a link between the consumers of classical music and insanity.
Consider the evidence: we have just had Brodsky (under one of his many noms de plume) suggesting that allowing people to clap between movements of a symphony is a sign of the impending self-destruction of western civilisation, dominated as it is with 'drugged-up criminal chavs', egged on by the mindless liberals at the BBC.
He has posted many other statements in a similar vein and, although we can acknowledge an element of self-parody here, it seems not unreasonable to suggest he actually believes in the general tenor of what he says - that anyone who fails to recognise the greatness of Beethoven and Mozart is little more than sub-human detritus who deserves nothing but contempt. Indeed, his main purpose in posting at all appears to be to urge others to show the same contempt as he does to anyone with the temerity not to share his own taste in music."
youse guys are definitely heading in the right direction!

. . . when it comes to vacations and bans. (I've never outright banned anyone of course, and I hope I never have to - but, since life is a box of chocolates, you never know!)
