[Manue]

Ban me now and be done, I refuse to be chastised for expressing emotion.

I think this was primarily aimed at a member that was recently ban.  They were intentionally being very rude and attacking/belittling other members..   I doubt you have anything to worry about.

If it's just an individual, why not deal with that person and move on? No need to raise barbed wires for one person. It seems like an overkill solution and a social rating system.
