Getting it out of your system

More nominations for people to ban from The Stack, as gradually we whittle our customer list down to single figures.
“I think that male system managers should not be allowed into The Stack,” says Sue Pringle at Mayday University Hospital.
“What a strange and abnormal breed. Alcohol makes them have strange, delusional rantings – they think they manage systems that do what users want, within a project delivered on time, within budget and with all staff still on speaking terms.”
This all sounds somewhat personal. Sorry Sue, we’re keeping the system managers, because delusional rantings wouldn’t seem at all unusual among our clientele.
Meanwhile Malcolm Swallow, suggests: “The first person to ban from The Stack on the grounds that he is likely to incite extreme violence from otherwise peaceable customers would be the government’s e-Envoy.”
Sorry Malcolm, but the role of e-Envoy was discontinued some while back, which raises a whole new issue: can we bar someone who doesn’t exist?
