Something else occurred to me. I wouldn't know where to place it on the balance scales you use to determine such things, however, if there is a sentiment that it is important to help someone rather than banish them, it doesn't serve the student to attend one class per year.
I believe that there must be some kind of posting behavior that would necessitate such punitive measures. It is often in the best interests of the posting community as a whole to remove an individual from it. The needs of the many might outweigh the needs of the one.
I guess I agree with 52 week posting blocks under extraordinary circumstances. I am greatly relieved to not be in a position to have to judge such a thing. I just wish the formula you use to determine the length of posting blocks would not have such a steep exponential curve to it.
This whole thing is very complex.
