A couple quick points here....
One, on Peter's "time-out". We really don't ask a lot out of the members of our community. We have a very short list of rules we expect people to follow. Peter did not follow these rules. We asked him politely to change, took the time to explain to him why he needed to change and finally warned him that he needed to change. Well, his behavior never changed. It simply got to the point where we needed to take the next step and so we have. You can only give a person so many warnings you know?
Two...you'll notice I used the word "time-out" above. That's what this is. We don't like to ban people and we realize that members of our community don't like to see their fellow posters booted. We have not banned Peter permanently. He will be welcomed back eventually but for now, we want him to think about all that has happened here so when he returns, he will be a better contributor and a more valuable member of our community. Some people don't realize this, but we do stay in touch with those that have left our forum. Occasionally we let them back on as well so Peter probably will have the same opportunity.
