There's nothing intentionally cruel about what I describe.
If we've banned someone because they're abusing someone else, stalking their ex, making someone's life hell. Then why continue to allow them to do so via messaging?
If we've banned someone, then will that person continue to act reasonably and maintain a good forum if they've created one? The ultimate legal liability for stuff that happens on a site is the site admin, and some people when banned take it very personally. The banned person may well create a legal risk for the entire forum, so removing the ability to own/moderate a forum is a way to mitigate that risk.
You, marcom, took it extremely personally. You chose to flounce, you chose to sign me up to porn mailing lists. Your message above shows that you still take it personally. I will have no hesitation to ban you for the smallest infraction given your past behaviour.
