Just my opinion but I think hindsight has proven that is was a big

mistake to

unblock Lir. This single individual has proven to be a anti-social

is on the verge of driving at least one other contributor away and drove Andre away for some time. I also haven't seen Lee around much since

you so

publically reverted his IMO perfectly valid ban on Lir. I guess he is

a bit

discusted about the whole matter - I sure would be (and am).

Please refresh my memory on why it is necessary to be so permissive

about

alloying trolls to troll about? Their mere presence attacks more of

their ilk

and drives away the type of contributors we want, like Zoe.

Do you really want to have more Lirs and fewer Zoes?

PS it is late and the above may sound a bit harsh. Please don't take

it that

way -- I still have the greatest respect for you and your

contributions. I

just think that your idealism has been a bit on unrealistic side in this particular matter.

FWIW, I've been regretting the unbanning also. Lir does not contribute nearly as much as any one of the people she's constantly butting heads with. I'd much rather ban Lir again, and if I were able to do it now I think I would. I had high hopes that Lir would turn around, but those hopes now seem completely divorced from reality: I think she gets her jollies by stirring up trouble and antagonizing.
