I didn't say he had been banned. Disciplinary action for TOS violations is supposed to be: * First event - warning by email and/or IM. * Second event Forum Suspension for 1 or 7 days or Temporary Community ban for 3 or 7 days. * Third event Membership revoked, and access to the community permanently blocked. If I understand correctly, #2 will be skipped if he continues, and I hardly see where that's called for. As for Poser 5, Curious Labs, and Renderosity, the first is a program, and the other two are business entities. As they are not "people", they really can't be the target of "personal attacks". I haven't read the arguments. If someone argues about the subject and/or gives evidence to the contrary, that's perfectly all right as far as I'm concerned. If the "rebuttal" is some variation of "You're an idiot!", then no. That is a personal attack.
