Responding to someone's comment by publicly hitting on her and using that to deflect from the content of what she wrote is so over the line that the fact that he did not very quickly apologize means he should be banned permanently. Comments like that can do a lot of harm to the openness of the list and people's willingness to participate, but if people see that the person who did that got banned that could prevent the harm - by showing strong support for the view that it was totally unacceptable, and making people believe it's not likely to repeat. -- Cos -- last-call mailing list -- last-call@xxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to last-call-leave@xxxxxxxx
