Kill him.
Coming kind of close...
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Hee. You got me before the red fog cleared to a light pink mist.

I have an additional request. If people are pissed off about a specific user, can they please keep it confined to where that person posts and to this bureaucracy thread? When it shows up in Natter, where the person is not, then it just feels like talking behind his back, but still in public, which is so beneath the usual behavior of the Buffistas.

I'm no stompy, but I'm all for giving him a few months to sit in the corner and think about playing nice with the other kids.
ETA, Buffistas is an amazingly polite place for an online forum. That's not going to continue if we tolerate bad behavior.
This is a private place. We have no obligation to give anyone a soapbox here.

Heh. Actually, people going over to Natter to complain is a tried and trued Bufista tradition. People's have bveen doing it as long as we've HAD a Natter. (:
Seriously, the best thing to do is to let it burn out, unfortunately, it's mostly newbies who are feeding the fire.

Well, since this isn't the first time, I think letting it burn out is at best a temporary solution.

I'm with Rob on this. There's polite disagreement, and then there's flinging poo on people.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
I'll wrod that. My humble vote is that m. gets a very clear, polite, but strongly-worded private email; and if this happens one more time, suspension.
