Actually, looks like we can either Remove or Ban... don't see an 
option to simply bump someone back down to Moderated.

That would be the way to essentially drop a member down to Moderated, 
with the added irritation of having to sign back up on the list.

And beyond.  Mr. Thorn has been the best moderator I could ask for, 
and his word IS law.  (Mr. Hale-Evans is correct to point out this is 
not a democracy.)

Here I was, silly me, actually out enjoying the holidays.  I come 
back and some people have gotten all cranky.  Let us be nice, and if 
we can't manage that, let us at least remain civil.

Be of Good Cheer,
