Last week:
Two threads pertaining to gulf oil crisis went sour and were locked.
Last Thursday:
Yet another oil crisis thread ("Hands across the Sand") went sour. The attacks (mainly soxfan22 v. Connie) were particularly personal and harsh. All contributions to the thread were deleted, and all participants were admonished.
Last Friday:
Anthony posts a thread ("Please keep it together") asking forum members to play nice, noting that he is in China and is having trouble getting online.
Surprisingly, soxfan22 posts a reply, with political undertones (China, communism, big government in the US), certain to get a rise out of other members.
The reply is deleted.
soxfan22 quickly reposts the same reply along with further political analysis and amplification.
The expanded reply is deleted.
soxfan22 posts another sarcastic reply.
soxfan22 posts another sarcastic reply.
soxfan22 posts another sarcastic reply, this time with new political jabs, along with the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi" youtube. In the past, soxfan22 has posted this same video to mock The Mgmt.
The "Soup Nazi" reply is deleted.
The Mgmt. goes off duty.
soxfan22 posts a video featuring Barrack Obama.
A while later, soxfan22 posts a reply, angrily complaining that the Obama video hasn't been deleted, even though he himself posted it.
The Mgmt. comes back on duty and deletes the Obama video.
soxfan22 posts additional provocative replies regarding the way VIOL is run, questioning Anthony's business model, and taking swipes at other members (e.g., "It is difficult to explain economics and business to liberals").
Inside the very post in which Anthony is pleading for peace and harmony, soxfan22 has everyone fighting.
New provocations are popping up every few minutes.
soxfan22's VIOL membership is suspended.

My admonishment must have been lost in the mail.
