... there are simply some people, that large groups,

but because of just how [they] are [presenting it]...

and discuss IDCC without the interference of one or two people.

If we have... that want a board that can block out 1 person,
we are stupid not to provide it for them. For whatever reason.
But let's figure in the moral variable....
If a board is large enough, you keep the "main" board
and spinoff a "private" board with blocking facilities.
What's wrong with that?
There's a free, public board and a closed-end exlusive....
...
... this is something, I think, is worth a "test"
and THEN discussing as it goes...
Food for though, Mr. President.

Yes i agree that "their fear" is the focal point...
I'am sure we can find example large & small, simple & complex
in all of us in every instance of living on Earth :o)
Question about the EDIG board that Sheriff Matt is trying to solve.
I believe you are now the board moderator.
My recent input on the Q & A board in the form of advice to Matt
in less than 50 words is to have those 2 or 3 highly skilled folks
like (i forget the names) Once?, Cass---? that know how to push
the hot buttons of many others using methods that causes Matt
to defend them... ok, over 50 words... my advice to Matt was that
these 2 or 3 people be ban from the EDIG board(the original one)
and a shadow board EDIG_Shadow be open to all without anyone
being a moderator, aka no deletions. This way the folks that went
to the original EDIG board remain on the one with the "history"
and are free on them hot button pushers, while everyone is free
to go "nuts" on the shadow board. To me its Matt having his cake
and eating it too since those hot button pushers will post on the
shadow board and enough of those that are screaming to Matt
to remove these hot button pushers will post on both boards,
eventually the shadow board will become the high volume leader
and mimic the current EDIG board in chaos, but without the right
of anyone to complain :o)
But Matt & Bob want a logical & rational solution,
not one like mine using reverse-logic :o)
If you wish you can forward this PM reply to anyone you wish to.

ok, and while i agree with your "the public board should
only ban those that are banned from the entire site..."
i agree yes, but only under situations where there is
an even & fair playing field for all, and as i mentioned
in my posts to Matt & Bob one or two months ago
on the Q & A board, there is a Trojan Horse on iHub,
which has hoodwinked & buffooned & dunderheaded Matt :o)
but,
"time will tell"
a simple search on my iHub profile for "voices"
should explain my writing style as others have "questioned" it.
also,
please do a simple search on my iHub profile for "Trojan"
if you wish to re-read my post to Matt & Bob.
