Dave! Hiss off
There was a guy banned temporally last year for suggesting that we were turning into wimps, dancing around snorkels if I remember

Thankfully the ban was lifted the next day when the misunderstanding was sorted out (before my time on the staff BTW).
I don't think there is any problem with a good argument as long as it is kept clean, it's bullying or baiting tactics that wind me up. Anyway if people do get offended there is always the report a post button which is always discussed quite quickly by the staff before taking any action, which is usually a polite PM. It's not often thankfully that anything is actually done about anything here as most members are adult enough to know how to get along in a community.
Possibly a good "you've been naughty" punishment would be a "sent to Coventry" button were a member would be able to post and read his own posts made during the allotted time but no one else could. even after the sanction expires
