I proposed that the community be able to soft-ban any
pair of partisans from editing an article.  It got
zero airplay whatsoever, and even Louis (whoever he
really is) went and turned the /article ban page into
a redirect. The ban idea would make both people happy
I think -- keep each others hands out of the article
--which in this case JT was not gracious enough to do.

Yes --but I thought we established it a long time ago
-- Erik was just letting off steam, which was in terms
of bright ideas, inline with Antheres and LD's
"experimental accounts," or with my threatening to ban
Jesus is Lord! if he didnt change his name (as the
community had voted).  All of these bad ideas come
from the notion that time and energy can be saved if
only a bit more force were applied.  Well -- Vietnam 2
is going on on the other side of the planet, and I
suppose its not too unusual for humans to make things
worse by applying violence.
