"I have been suspended from posting on SI without explanation. Apparently my disagreement with the policies of George W Bush has led to a violation of my rights to free speech."

Scumbria

The only thing I can think about is that someone complained either about off topic posts about Bush, or he used some vulgur term in one of them and some one complained about that. I have read Scumbria's posts on quite a few threads and I never say anything that I thought deserved suspention or banning. SI's administrative actions in this regard seem to be kind of arbitrary to me. If he did really violate the terms of use, I can't see how he did it in such a major way as to deserve immediate banning. You would think a warning would come first, but maybe thats not how SI opearates. I don't think the ban was a good idea.

I just checked the terms of use. The only thing I can see that might have been violated is - "g) Posting improper or off-topic messages or posting more than twenty messages in six hours. " On this thread nothing is really off topic any more and almost any one of the regulars could be banned if posting any non AMD messages was considered a horrible offence. As for posting more than twenty messages in six hours. I know that I do that from time to time.

To make this on topic <g> - Max pain for AMD is 23.75.
