Sure, lack of civility and respect for others, as well as the use of profanity just because it pervades today's lingo, should bear some consideration in banning a member. Or at least giving him or her the proper warning.
My motto has always been: think before you say something or write something. That is not only essential here, but anywhere in life.
Although a humble Mentor, I have come to respect the Moderators and Administrators for their sense of fairness and understanding. The mood and the philosophy at SRP undoubtedly starts at the top with the noble Lynn Abrams, a true gentleman and a good human being.

Thank you for reading, and may good fortune swim in your lane.
