Those around at the time will recall which path Mr. Hosp opted to take.

But I may not be remembering correctly, and am not interested enough to review the public mod logs.)There was no provision for a sixty-day ban under the old rules. We chose to treat Ben's actions as what they were, a Rule 15 offence (which allowed us to sanction for actions that damaged the forums while technically not violating then-extant rules), and then determined the length of the ban by a discussion among the moderators. We opted for sixty days since it would be harsher than any non-indefinite Rule 11/13 sanction, but would still allow Ben to participate fully in that year's Period of Review.
[Y]our report describes how rational these people are. Millennia ago, they abandoned their belief in the supernatural. Now you are asking me to sabotage that achievement, to send them back into the Dark Ages of superstition and ignorance and fear? No!
