  If 'ban' and 'suspend' are interchangeable terms there may be hope for David, and others, yet.
  
  I suppose that being aware of the fact that we all here are hanging by a thread, and that we each have a grip upon one handle of the scissors used to 'free' us from the forum, may take some of the sting out of the process/realisation.
  
  Nevertheless, I cannot conjure-up a reason for there being no difference between ban and suspend.
  
  If there were to be a 'three strikes and your out', and if the out was known to be long term or permanent, this would help.
  
  One distinct advantage of short-term-suspension is that the miscreant could formulate an apologia (more explanation than mea-culpa). This could help cement the group together.
  
  Whatever! I hereby ban myself from further comment. It is Christmas and the Port is 'saved'. There is much to rejoice about.
