Unfortunately, as we've seen on GFY and elsewhere, "Temporary Exile" never seems to work with the Donald. At best, he'll offer a half-hearted apology and return to the same antics within the week.

As I see it, there are only two options: One is a permanent ban, though I am loath to recommend such an extreme action, particularly since it was never used on ol' Skurt, who was far worse than Donny, and smacks of Staphcuntism.

The other option, which is sort of derivative of what actually happened with Skurt, would be to declare a moratorium on all new Donny/CX3 threads. Instead, such antics would be relegated to a "Fatman Status" like thread stickied to the top of GPT. There, Donkey and Christian could swing their purses at each other as much as they please, and people could chose to read, ignore or join in at their pleasure. All other DL/CX3 threads would be summarily locked.

This would not prohibit either of them from posting/starting new threads about any other topic not related to this pseudo-feud. So Christian could post away to his heart's content about no-lists or tossing Derek's salad and Donkey could brag all he likes about his non-existent carpentry skills to our collective amusement.
