Ouch. I will say that I appreciate all that Vitaliy does; he truly does an amazing amount of helpful work. I also have great sympathy for his frustration with users. Further, I think the assessments of the conversation are essentially accurate; Vitaliy was quite reasonably frustrated with the conversation. But I want to state for the record that I think Jonathan is correct on one point: he should not have been banned, and he certainly should not be banned now. That was an overreaction and an abuse of op privileges, in my opinion. Vitaliy, I think you should take a break, or /ignore, or /kick, or use some other tool to ease your frustration; a ban is inappropriate except in the most extreme cases, in my opinion. Cheers, Jeremy
