1. You're not going to curse us out and name call in PMs on top of stirring up trouble on the board and not escape consequences. It's pretty simple. Our expectations are that you can pretty much say anything you want to us, but you don't get to drop f-bombs, name-call and then expect us to bend over backwards for you.
2. When one of these situations unfolds, my only request/requirement for a suspension to be lifted is just to throw a "my bad" and a "I won't let it happen again in the future" into a DM... and I'm as good sport that will let people out of jail.
3. If you can't be a good enough person to apologize when you're clearly out of line and you've gone out of your way to be as disrespectful as possible, I'm not lifting the ban.
I don't believe that these are unrealistic or unfair requests. I'm thinking of this exchange in Urban Cowboy:
Uncle Bob: "You know Bud; sometimes even a cowboy's gotta swallow his pride to hold on to somebody he loves."
Bud: "What do you mean?"
Uncle Bob: "Hell, I know, I pretty near lost Corene and the kids a couple of times just 'cause of pride. You know you think that ol' pride's gonna choke you going down, but I tell you what ain't a night goes by I don't thank the boss up there for giving me a big enough throat. 'Cause without Corene and them kids, hell, I'd just be another pile of dog shit in the canteloupe patch just drawing flies."
Bud: "I guess so."
Uncle Bob: "Think about it Bud, pride's one of those seven deadlies, you know what I mean?"
