Ban me to asshole!

To is a versatile preposition. A few of its many definitions are (1) toward, (2) reaching as far as, and (3) until.1 Too is an adverb meaning (1) additionally, (2) excessively, (3) very, or (4) extremely.2 Whenever you’re in doubt about whether to use to or too, see if any of those synonyms of too (i.e., additionally, extremely, etc.) would work in its place. If none fits, then to is probably the word you’re looking for.

At any rate - we aim to please. Banned.

A great response!

Seriously, if I weren't such a prude, I'd consider adopting "Ban me to asshole!" as my tag line.
