While I heartily agree with the spirit of your proposal (ie. the desire 
to maintain an appropriate standard of "civility" on this list) I can't 
help but notice the irony in your proposal to ban someone for calling 
for a ban on someone else...

Peace everyone. The existence of one or two noisy and hostile 
individuals on this list does not spoil an otherwise helpful and 
friendly community.
