I don't really see the need for much fighting any more. The ghosts have pretty much been excorcized? Final tally? Prime banned until the cows and sheep and penguins all come home and Buffalo wins the Superbowl, Saph getting a karma slap on her wrist for a paisly first offense, me checking and making sure that Vaxx is not passhacked by Prime (j/k, j/k), and three of the sides on distribution of power (Administrative Equality, Lee's Head Honcho and Admins are Shiny Moderators, and "Staff's asshats, vote for Swingblade") are showing their colors.
And technically, shouldn't y'all be the confederates, seeing as how you're trying to throw off the yoke of oppression? I jest. Seriously, I'll try to listen more to the lesser ranked staff, provided that they stop their automatic whine mode from kicking in too often.

This goes beyond the realm of confederates and yankees.
I just like the name Jefferson F. Davis. Sounds presidential, doesn't it?

Am I the only person who thinks EP docking is better than Karma docking? After all, the Karma just sits there and does nothing, really. It's kinda like MySpace pic comments. They just sit there and people compare numbers but really, it doesn't matter. EP docking actually stops you from doing something funky. And Babs agrees. Sure, first offense and all that, but still. Karma does nothing, people! *EP dock'd* ;.;

I don't see why either would be considered relevant.

EP only stops slightly more because you can actually DO something with EP. Karma's just... there.

It's still a very blunt set of teeth for a threat.

Alright, was gone for the weekend, and missed a lot, but I need to throw in my 2 cents before the topic actually is forgotten. Please not the following quote from loogs:
Is this not a angry response from l00gs against Vaxxs comment? Is this not almost exactly like what Prime did? Vaxx was defending me quote unquote, and in return was attacked by another member. Case in point.
I know I'll just be shot down saying the topic is over or something, but seriously, its basically the same thing, and I bet NO ONE, except me, caught that; Why? Because for one reason or another Prime is hated.

But she wasn't making a personal attack on Vaxx. She was (ALBEIT ANGRILY BUT THERE IS NOTHING IN THE RULES AGAINST BEING ANGRY) pointing out a flaw in his reasoning. If Prime devoted more of his angry power to criticizing other peoples' arguments instead of bubbling over with "Fuck you"s (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SWEARING THERE IS NOT THE PRIMARY ISSUE I AM MERELY USING "FUCK YOU" AS A CONVENIENT SYMBOL FOR ANY KIND OF PERSONAL ATTACK WHICH IS THE PRIMARY ISSUE) all the time, he might still be with us.

Pohatu got it right when he said it's not about the angry response. It's the fact that he spewed vulgarities and insulted another member intentionally, using the crudest and easily most offensive language he could muster. It's not a case of whether it's anger-induced or not, it's the content of the message.
You seem to be overlooking the content of the message, and look directly at the causes. The content is just as important, and the reason he was banned.

How about the double whammy threat: Mandatorially using somebody's EP to Lover-Bomb themselves. They lose EP and Karma, and Pikachu gets some pimp EP to spend on a pocketwatch.

Eh, the karma system shouldn't be involved, considering that it's pretty much a joke as is. Just look at kaz -- last I checked, he had a massively-negative karma, but hadn't really done anything wrong enough to warrant it.
In this case, I don't know all the facts by a long shot, but if temp bans really aren't solving the problem, then a perma-ban may be warranted. I hate to admit it, but we can't play favorites or show undue mercy just because Prime is a long-time member/RP'er/etc. We all know that overly-draconian discipline causes problems, but the same is true of too-lax discipline. Because Exodus is so small, and because most of the members are pretty mature, we can afford to be more merciful than many larger forums, but only to a point.

The joke with Kaz is that his karma is at all times precisely the opposite of mine.

But that joke has been around for months!
And Bulbs, "Elder-Pohatu" is okay too. I suggested "Alter-Pohatu" since it's Latin for "other" (and since it has the same ring as "Anti").
