That is a personal matter that individuals will have to decide for themselves.
You are absolutely right that if they continue to communicate, a ban may never come. My post wasn't a counter-point. It was a stating of our approach to these situations.
No one that will decide on a ban has made this argument.
Banning is not a punishment (considering it to be one would be immature, self-important and silly on our part). We ban account solely in an effort to protect the community in the only way we can (which is admittedly very limited) from those who we feel might use our site to prey upon them. It is nothing more.
Fortunately for you, the burden of these questions don't fall upon your shoulders. Let's not be coy. Gino is not eFX. He is just an employee. Without eFX his only threat to the community is contained to personal sales of which we have received no complaints. While he may be tied to eFX he is not necessarily responsible for their actions as a company and again, banning is not a punishment. We would not lash out at him in a petty show of vengeance to "punish" eFX. With that being said, what the members of the community choose to do privately/legally/collectively on their own is their own business. However, I would caution you to read our Community Guidelines carefully before mounting any crusade.
