I think that people should be held accountable. And while things can get emotional, and that's okay, there needs to be decorum and respect - especially towards other posters.
I am pleased that he got banned, and I wish crap like that resulted in bannings more often. I don't come here to see posters rudely attacking other posters.

Obviously the mods felt the same way.
Banning someone is easy, I respect that posters are given every opportunity. That said, it seems more of these types of posters have been cleaned up. It is nice to be able to come to a community where there is a strong culture of respect while still being able to share diverse opinions. I have observed other forums where people can get banned instantly just "for bringing up an opinion that, that said mod didn't agree with".
It is better to engage posters through participation and dialog, this strengthens community tolerance and raises the quality of content. The mods here have experience, work together have more detailed info so we can be confident there is a strong process..., "before dropping that dreaded ban hammer".
Back on topic, really enjoyed the game, It is games like this where the Flames can measure up where they stand with the best and what they need to do better. St Louis was more posed, disciplined and were the better team but these Flames appear to be on the rise and can play better. It was a game of details, and that was the difference.
