ON-TOPIC: Who Would You Ban?
If this was all you had to go on, and you had to pick one, which of the two participants would you consider banning?
Participant A:
"What I want to know is why some two bit, tin badged, donut eating, rent-a-cop with misplaced assumptions of authority automatically thinks she knows anything about racing and automotive culture, especially when she has a bunch of chrome and polished crap under the hood that she thinks adds class and value. ... Speed, that is. But if you want you can substitute that with brains, logic, guts, or tact. I'm ready to shoot the ball. Get out of the way, fatboy."
Participant B:
"My post addresses the topic. It just takes a different point of view. Something that pisses you off to no end apparently. Breaks my heart. Now be a good boy and put your clown hat back on and sit in the corner for a time out."
These are characteristic of some of the worst that these participants had recently uttered towards each other in a now-locked thread.
Participant A began this approach about two full pages of posts in advance, unprovoked, in an otherwise beneficial and civilized thread, despite the significant differences of opinion being expressed.
For Participant B, it was one of the last things they said before the thread was locked, and after constant and personal provocation from near its beginning.
No, this does not tell the entire story, but in as succinct a manner as possible, gives reasonable representation of the conduct of the two parties at the center of the thread. Fortunately, this is not all you have to go on. Please read for yourself and form your own conclusions:

As a direct result of their conduct in this thread, one of these participants was banned. If, in fact, both were banned -- which of the two may have been less deserving?
(and yes -- this is on-topic. It has entirely everything to do with the value, integrity and public perception of this community)

I think speculating on things which you know very little about is unwise. I suggest you gather your information from more than a single source and ask someone who knows if you really want to know what's going on.
