I'm with you, Larry, but the Forum Communications setup for these discussion areas - if that is what they are really supposed to be - is grossly inadequate to tackle the problem. A person can be banned and have accounts pulled one day, only to return again - often with another name and email address - to do the same thing all over again. To police things as a matter of course, day in and day out, is an improbable task with the limited human resources available to them. Right now, though, there is recent legal precedent for this sort of misuse of the Internet in attacking people and calling names and simply making things up.

Aside from D C making light of the ediorial, I ask this question: Why doesn't the Echo put a stop to it? You often pull the plug on a thread, to the delight of some who then blame it on "the other guy." Why not actually ban posters if the don't follow the rules? You DO have rules, right?
