Just so you know

UncleHo was a troll who only with difficulty held on to sysop rights, rather than an integral part of the community. What happened at FreeThoughtBlogs was more like if, for example, Psygremlin or Nx threatened to beat up Human.

Ah. Well, for all we know, it's already happened, but via email or other private channels. That's what happened at FTB. That one guy emailed that other guy and the other guy posted the email after sharing it with the big heads over there and they decided to ban that one guy as well as Thunderf00t, because they were behaving like asshats (to say the least). There has already been some heated email exchanges here, like that thing between Blue and Human. Most relevant to me, I once sent an angry email to Armondikov which really put him off me, and I'm still feeling the hate from that one. Who knows what's going on behind the scenes!

If there had been a threat, I suspect we would have heard about it by now — publicizing a threat is not only the best way to neuter it, but would be an excellent way to win a squabble with another editor.
