I was wondering about that 1 warning when I saw it myself...

I participate in forums for my profession. I am the senior partner of a small NYC area bus company. At least twice a week I find myself driving a school bus. Sometimes because somebody calls out. Sometimes because we have an extra run. Sometimes because I like to meet handicapped children riding one of my eight school buses. We also operate (but don't own) a bus for elderly and hadicapped as well. I enjoy people and it doesn't matter if your income last year was $100 or $100,000 to me. I deal with people that make our problems seem insignificant and try to remember how fortunate I am.
There was a driver having problems at work and perhaps airing some dirty laundry. They eventually kicked him off. I know this because he has e-mailed me since. I thought the actions were extreme, like this public warning attached to your posts in big red letters.
I hate to see flame wars, but it seems this sort of thing happens on all sorts of forums, no matter the topic. I believe in open discussion. I believe it is wrong to belittle another person. I don't know you or your history, so let this be a fresh slate.
