It'd take a hell of a lot to get Cunc banned, certainly more than this. Comments about banning should be among the sad, tragic, final things that we bring up in a dispute, rather than among the first.
What's needed here is an effort to merge, to take what's good, smooth out what's bad, to soften, to mollify, to co-operate.
What's important is to figure out the *key*, what *key portion* of the text is important to the other party, and how might it be phrased in a mutually acceptable way.
