But tolerating abusive behaviour goes just so far. Battered wives tolerate it and some get killed.

I just want you all to know that I do not take decisions to exclude someone lightly. I leave it perhaps rather too long in the hope that the person causing issues will reveal why they came, why they need us. I never forget that people come here because they have a reason to come. I always hope we can be of some use. And I try to encourage the abusive perosn to use us rather than abuse us.

I suppose it can look like "this guy attacked me so I excluded him." I'm sorry about that. I'd rather he attacked me than attacked you, though, even if it does make it look as if I retaliated.

It has taken me a long time to exclude Jack. And, today, he chose exclusion by being personally abusive after a specific warning, one that he acknowledged elsewhere.
