I don't think the listing of "Suspended" under a member's handle is meant to be a Scarlet Letter so much as a notice that the member won't be responding to posts for a period of time.
But all the discussion on Suspensions is over an act that is the least used tool in a moderator's bag and something that only happens to less than .01% of FT's membership.
