I wanted to make a suggestion on this :

Why was it necessary to make this decision public ? I think your points for
temporary suspension  sound logical but I somehow think it was a bad idea to
post it like this .

Though I am not at all interested in the topics Mr Gerber usually wants to talk
about I didn't find misbehaviour in his posts from his side so no need to let
him look bad in public.

Nobody cares for a poster who doesn't post anymore , and after a few day we
would have either seen "Hans Gerber" posting again , never see him again or see
a "new" member after you changed his name .

You can't expect everybody to deal with Moderation issues in "Moderation emails
" when you then at the same time post your decisions in public IMHO.

regards.
