I am sorry to have to have taken this action as you know I dislike any shows of moderating power. I therefore will explain my actions.
Peacha had come to my notice some time ago as he clearly had a relatively low opinion of B&O. I have no problems with that at all - criticism is an important part of this forum and will help B&O as if we offer nothing but sycophancy then nothing is gained. We have a number of members who offer such criticism and I will protect their right to complain.
However in the last 24 hours peacha become incoherent and abusive towards other members. This is unacceptable and he also started doing this on many threads in a most disruptive manner. I could see no way that this was constructive and also no way that I could rehabilitate him.
I hence took the decision to ban him permanently and hope this meets with the approval of the membership.
