"Re-instating this poster will have a very predictable outcome in my opinion and I strongly urge Agoracom to re-consider this move."

Chappy, you may well be right, but if foxy returns and resumes where (s)he left off, (s)he won't last long.

I found foxy's constant references to SH intensely irritating and can understand that others were more personally affected - I received a couple of PMs from foxy which, while not openly hostile, were accusatory in tone - but it won't be the first time that agora has reinstated a forum member who has transgressed agora's rules.

So, I'm open to giving foxy a second chance but make it clear to all that, as far as I am concerned, there won't be a third.

Thanks, chappy, for the heads-up that this discussion was taking place and thanks to all contributors. I'm back to reading the forum each day now and will honour my responsibility as HL when appropriate.
