Or out of 20+ areas of the pub the vast majority abided by the rules.
In one area where users had already served several time outs and were let back in again continued not to behave responsibly in the end that section of the pub was closed off. Rest of it remained open.

Presumably you're referring to those of us (myself included) who've previously stood up to earlier trolls (which have actually been the same very small number of people who re-incarnate themselves with a new agenda), and when the blatantly obvious has been pointed out to the mods, we've been disbelieved, and eventually banned as disruptors.
Each time it happens it's clear that you haven't learned anything from the previous occasion, and we have to bang our heads against a wall yet again until you ban some of us and the troll is removed. Groundhog day with a vengeance.
So we now get labelled as irresponsible in your analogy above, and you've made yourself a convenient trumped up excuse to close General Chat.
The latest version of that particular troll seems to have been wiped from the forum a lot quicker than on previous occasions which have sometimes gone on for many weeks, which indicates that you've someone has actually believed us this time, but in that case perhaps it should be considered that you've been wrong to disbelieve people who've previously been trying to help things run smoothly, and admit that you've grossly over-reacted.
