I think it is a matter of regret that he was banned, and frankly, I think the board is a bit diminished by his departure. He clearly sailed too close to the wind. On the whole, vigorous debate online is to be encouraged not discouraged.
I found cicero's posts tiresome and his joke was old, stale and taken too far. I didn't however ask for him to be banned, send PM's to the administrator about him or engage him. I just ignored him. That is what the net is all about. If you don't agree or like a poster, just ignore them.
