I don't consider that an excuse. The world needs more positive things
to balance the plethora of bad ones. I'm not saying I have the answer,
but I do think I have the right and responsibility to try.

Aye, but having a security system immobilize them while I'm not home
is more what I'm after. I can easily ban/gag/freeze a player if I'm
online, but I gotta sleep and work sometimes....
