Bill's thread regarding the original 'threat' to ban him was a public response to my PM pointing out that I was no longer prepared to defend his behaviour to others, speaking as a friend - there had, at that stage been no threat to ban him. I've not had and don't want the option to ban members. Bill made it clear that winning the argument was more important than listening to or respecting anyone. (I'd point out that I fought Bill's corner when he was banned before, I thought perhaps unfairly. But that cut no ice, either. I'd become one of 'them'.)
He was subsequently warned by Scott, and again, I and others asked him to behave differently. Several further posts featured phrases like '...if you want to start an argument' and telling posters they were welcome not to correspond with him. It's not Bill's (or my) forum; it's Scott's, for us to all play by the rules.

Those that are interested in knowing the status of the Spitfire can just email Bill directly, he is banned from the site, not the internet.
