Since Patrick is the Sheriff of our virtual community, and even the Sheriff has to occassionally get some sleep, maybe he should deputize a couple of the more level headed long time members with powers to jail the outlaws that come to town on Friday and Saturday nights looking to shoot up the town.  This would reduce the routy fights and minimize collateral damage.

Deputies could temporarily jail a routy outlaw ISP until the sheriff returns to decide what to do with the outlaw.  Those that break out of jail (using another ISP) would of course be shot (banned) on sight.

Hmmmmmm, who could we elect to be the hanging judge?

Besides, who is really level headed here?  It seems everyone has the hots for at least one other person on the board.  You'd need someone who was impartial, regardless of their feelings.  That isn't so easy to find...
