I don't disagree with what you say, but I think you are missing the point I tried to make. I have seen arguments for two years about whether or not the TOU are evenly applied. My own feeling is that they are probably not. I'm sure that there are favorites, even subconscious ones, so to speak, and have a lot to do with how the members interact privately with the admin people. I dare say that the admin people might even admit that, while they try not to be that way, a certain amount of bias probably seeps in. My main point is that unless you are the one suspended, you can NEVER be sure what a suspension is all about. If for nothing else, you can NEVER be sure that someone is telling the truth publicly about what an SI person has told them. I specifically am not making that charge in this case. I just know that people are people, and they aren't always willing to be completely forthright in all manners. But then again, isn't that how you would want it? Wouldn't you want your privacy if perhaps you had said or done something you wouldn't want anyone to know about? Again, I haven't a clue if this time that has happened, but I know that in a previous dispute, a member I was having a feud with didn't want what he had said privately held up to public scrutiny, yet he yelled and screamed publicly that he hadn't said what he had said. All of this is just theory. Like I said, none of this probably happened. It's just that I still don't see a better way to do it. I'm open to such a better way, but I haven't seen it. You are certainly correct in asking what the lines are, etc. I just don't think they have the duty to discuss individual cases with you. Regards, Len
