Those of us who have been here for 10 or more, however, have seen some  
very upsetting things. A couple of bannings, and a few people chased  
away for good. The whole story probably isn't know in full by any one  
person (including me, who did take a substantial break after one  
incident). I only came back when I heard that there'd been a clean  
break and the List effectively re-formed.
