In general I concur, but I think that, in this case, the business wasn't funny, it was highly offending someone, that person asked the offending party to stop, and the offending party refused. It's not as if Uriel was making references to Star Trek or something equally unimportant or inane. If he had been, I'm quite sure the reaction would have been different. I suspect Uriel may be permitted to rejoin the list once he learns how not to be an asshole. Then again, that may mean he never gets to resubscribe. - Dan C.
