Removing Zeev from SI is wrong.

There is no SI rule prohibiting his actions. The TERMS OF USE have a few rules, but none concerning the discussion of business matters via email.

Why, I ask, does SI provide an option to post your email address if actually we are not allowed to send each other email? Only Tastes Like Chicken could find an answer to this question.

Spamming is bad. But this Zeev fellow is hardly a spammer. This is the mistake SI has made.

Of course, SI does not want people advertising products on the threads or spamming people with a boatload of emails. But Zeev did not do this.

This is America. Talking business and proposing a deal is a good thing, not a crime.

How could a valued contributor, who sent selected people private email about business, be stomped by rules that are supposed to be aimed at spammers?

(1) SI should have a clear set of rules. (Actually, they do, and Zeev has not violated any of them. See Terms of Use.)

(2) SI should come out of their virtual office and make a statement. Obviously a lot of people are very concerned. What's going on, SI???
