(I was half serious in that prior post; really should take a firmer line in defense of my kingdom, and Laurie depends somewhat upon my sufferance).

However, on what grounds would you ban her? Misrepresenting the post of another and having it tossed back? Sock-puppeteering (not really provable)? Spamming may be more plausible, but not if you use sock-puppets. There's a far better solution to the "math" problem, but it'll have to be posted on Fraywatch, and so is out of jurisdiction.

Even if you ban someone, they manage to come back. Can't kill anyone around here. The only solution is to smack them down resolutely, or ignore them completely. I have been lax in employing either measure. As sovereign, after the tragic death of my brother Richard, it is my responsiblity to do so.

But I've only frittered around the edges. I pledge to do more.

PS You've never written a "Why I Must Leave the Fray Forever" post? I find that odd. You've been around a while. Everyone does.
