I'm sorry you felt the need to ban Meanwhile. I know he is sometimes scathing, but in part that is a cultural difference - he, and I, are in the UK and I have often observed that North Americans are shocked by the Brit enthusiasm for sarcasm and acerbity. Thin skin seems less prevalent over here, we are more likely to call a tool a tool. And Meanwhile is one of the more informed participants in this thread (and its predecessors), he actually posts evidence as well as opinion.
Don't take this personally. You are one of the most intelligent and nuanced moderators on the site, and of course you have your job to do. But this is A&S. Plus, this is the helmet thread in A&S. These aren't places for the faint-hearted, and Meanwhile is an asset rather than a liability.
