The non-offensive version of soulfrost's "Madam, I must protest"

That already happened almost a week ago:

It’s been said in the past, too.

He wanted to be banned. He made that abundantly clear and he acted on it. I appreciate the consideration you’re showing here and I know nobody likes seeing longtime posters banned precipitously, but he made it clear he wanted to be escorted out of here to prove a point. We gave him a chance to step back from the edge and didn’t provoke him, and he didn’t want to take the opportunity. I think we try to be respectful of people who’ve been here a long time, but we’re not obliged to tell people “you don’t really mean that” when they’re committed to being banned because of one injustice or another. I don’t think there’s much else to say about this except to point out you’re showing more concern about SoulFrost’s participation here than he did. Like any banned poster, he can ask for reinstatement if he wants it.
