I've never gotten any "joy" out of banning anyone. It's a duty that I was asked to perform, that I agreed to commit to, and that when I did it, it was out of a sense of "keeping my promise" and serving this community and our hosts (both of which I have immense respect for). We still have a role to play that includes (or results in) the banning of members who have broken their membership agreement. But in the old or the new, I've always felt more disappointed than glad whenever I've banned someone. Disappointed in the fact that the member didn't/couldn't/wouldn't see that there was a "better way" to interact with others. Disappointed that we (the community, the ninja, our hosts) weren't able to sufficiently demonstrate that "better way" so that the offending member saw it as a logical and rewarding path.
