Egad, where the Cunctator when you need him? At the drop of a hat, people are talking about banning this one and banning that one.

You're doing a fine job of channeling him here.

If someone writes badly, just revise their work. If someone puts something on the wrong shelf, just put it back.

SoftSecurity, right?

We have bans for good and sufficient reasons. I don't think it's unreasonable for people to point out cases (e.g. VeraCruz) in which a banned user comes back in disguise and repeats the behavior that caused banning.

It's possible that you could revise everything that needs revising, and move back everything that's in the wrong place--but it would use all your energy.

Me, I want to create something good, not just spend all my time painting over graffiti. If I enjoyed the endless, losing fight against entropy, I'd go scrub my kitchen floor.
