Well this thread went downhill quick. Glad to see Mods taking action for uncivil keyboard banging. Chris

First, it's actually pretty uncommon for anyone to get banned at all, contrary to popular mythology.
Second, it's exceedingly rare for someone to not get warnings, or incremental infractions before being banned, even temporarily.
That being said, some behaviors are so basically uncivil that they cannot be chalked up to a misunderstanding or an imprudent moment, and thus warrant a vacation.
Thanks to Norton and all the mods here for helping keep this community a useful and contributing place. I know it's a tough job, and y'all do it very well!

You'd be surprised at how little hands on work we have to do with people these days. After nearly 13 years, the community largely understands expectations and self-polices itself.
Our goal is compliance with some basic expectations, and we actually work pretty damned hard to not have to boot people.
Hell, I've even open up windows where we have actively solicited perma-banned people with an opportunity to ask for reconsideration for reinstatement. Unfortunately, in most of those cases, the responses I got mostly reinforced why they got banned in the first place.

Having moderated a medical student forum for years, I had the same experience. People pretty much ban themselves.....
I do miss Armed Ferret, though.....
excellent post the only negative is that logic and intelligent thought was used so it will not be an effective argument because it did not involve feelings

I enjoyed his antics until he committed hammercide....
Damn. The things you miss when abroad.
FTR I would have apoken up for ERuby. He may be good. He may be nice. He definitely ain't an easy buddy.
Nor did he solicit or deserve such crass or ignorant behavior. Boorish behavior on a good day.
Bravo for yet one more righteous and timely application of ...TBH.

Interesting conclusion. For that scenario to happen then the 9mm round fired from the shooter had to go through the victims skull, ( yes, she was hit in the head), then down and into the boys leg. Possible, yes , but probable? Secondly, witnesses stated the shooter had the gun pointed at hus head when the officer shot. Aren't they trained to shoot center mass? To hit his gun he must have been attempting a head shot. Not a very high percentage shot under the conditions.

I don't believe ANY agency trains to engage that way. Way to risky.
Sounds like the perp fired the magic bullit (like the one that struck both Kennedy and Connolly). And I'm a little confused, if the perp only fired ONE round that struck both victims and the officers shot hit the perps pistol then what bullet killed the perp? Perp must have fired TWO rounds.
