Good idea, SC. How about a zero tolerance policy for ANY new member who signs up and makes his first post an offensive one?

I say ban them before they get a foothold here and acquire any "followers." Because God knows that even the biggest of knuckleheads garner some support here if they hang around long enough. And at that point, I'm guessing that it's harder to make the decision to kick them to the curb.

I don't want to overstep with suggestions, but reading through this crap last night actually made me close my laptop. And if you can offend a childish idiot like me, you can offend anyone .
