Mike,
Again, I am very surprised that the current threads relating to this member (now banned from IIS) has been allowed to perpetuate. Of course I cannot condone the purported behaviour of this member however the colourful language used by you ("scum") and others seems to me, fly in the face of IIS's " Terms of Service " i.e. :
1. Inappropriate Material - It can be expected that children as young as 15 may visit the forums. Please don't post material that would not be appropriate for a 15 year old.
- Please avoid profanity, we're trying to encourage a family atmosphere and sense of community. Please don't try to bypass the profanity filter by substituting a letter with a number, intentionally misspelling the word, etc.
2. Respect - Please show respect for others in the community, as you would expect to have respect shown to you.
- Please avoid posting something that is intended to cause a reaction. Don't call people names or attack them or their character.
- No racial slurs will be tolerated.
- Think before you post. Think before you press submit. Re-Read the original post and read your reply before posting.
I think a more rational approach should be taken to this albeit isolated incident, afterall, as amateur astronomers, our prime aim is to enjoy our interest in this most esoteric hobby.
