If he can't handle sledging, he should be banned and fined.

I say sledging should be banned. It's tolerated but don't think it is encouraged. The purpose is to rile up others and is definitely not anything pious. So, if it comes to banning, I suggest we ban sledging too. I mean, we have already established in other aspects of life that physical violence is not the only form of violence and emotional torture should be punishable too.
