Good deal.
Bob once made the comment and I live by it (with added lines): My job isn't to "play dictator" or boot people off the site. That doesn't help me at all. My job is to make sure people abide by the rules and keep them as posters.
All too often people think I get some kind of joy or high out of booting people or throwing them in Jail. Quite the opposite. Doing so (unless it's a spammer, etc) just hurts the site and costs me a poster. So I'd much rather make my point, draw a line in the sand, and have posters walk the line.
In the case, I had to go to an extreme and use a machine gun to do it, taking out almost everybody in the process.
