We're adults here and it's a message board not a workplace. If someone doesn't want to apologize for offending me, that's theirs and my business, and the moderators shouldn't need to concern themselves with it in my opinion.

If we are letting posters sort things out, why have moderators?

Which would actually be a pretty damned good litmus test to see if they have actually changed their behavior and deserve to continue posting here.

I disagree. People would likely just bait them into the same arguments and we'd be back at square one
