Re: Scumbria has been inexplicably banned from SI

More likely, IMHO, is that he was banned because his posts made fun of Rambus. SI has previously had mysterious problems interfere with posters who don't toe the Rambus line.

And the rambus longs are a pretty fanatical group. The Bush guys have strong opinions, but their guy won, so there are probably limits to any hard feelings (and resulting complaints and/or lawsuits from them). The Rambus longs, OTOH, are hurting pretty bad at this point, were "very enthusiastic" even when things were going well for them, and may have kidnapped family members of SI's support staff or used other means of persuasion. It will be interesting to see if Carl (Bilow) gets banned too.
