1. If someone's posting habits bug you, don't read the posts. I know it's difficult when there's 20 redundant posts from the same person in a span of less than 5 minutes, but I do it, so I know it's possible! Set your page preferences to "Collapse" and viewing of 50 posts on a page, and believe me, you'll see a LOT of posts by other people, some of whom have only gotten 1 or 2 replies. Make an extra effort to reply to THOSE posts - you'll save yourself the stress, and you'll make some people who genuinely need assistance *very* grateful.
2. It's nobody's decision but Heather's as to whether or not someone is a problem user. But personally, I would consider ANYONE who disrupts the normal, helpful, friendly atmosphere of the boards to be a "problem", even if they're not being specifically abusive in the way past banned users have been.
Many, many people have emailed me, Heather, and probably even other moderators to complain, and when someone prevents regular, helpful, contributing users from being comfortable even being on the boards, then that person presents a problem. Obviously, Heather agrees. If you have an issue with her decision(s), take it up with her - don't whine about it and start arguments here on the boards.
3. C'mon, people. Remember who we are (friends!) and why we're here (IBS support). Play nice (and I will too, I promise!). Nobody specifically meant anybody any harm, as far as I can tell. Stop the witchhunting, and if you have a point to make, make it, but leave names (good or bad) out of it.
You guys are all like family to me, and I love y'all, and it bugs me to see us all ruffled like this. Knock it off, darn it!
