Oh, that's very interesting. Hmmmm. But somehow I don't think SI Bob would escalate a suspension to a permanent termination for insults to himself. Surely he's developed callouses by now. It's all baroque. Well, it WAS a loophole, wasn't it? A classic one. The ban is computer-enforced. If it were on the honor system, I guess he'd have been forced to honor the spirit of the ban or be further punished. I may have just been disingenuous, I"m not sure.... Maybe SI Bob will relent. I think it depends mostly on who asks to have him reinstated. I think JLA's weighing in for your reinstatement was what made the rescinding easiest for SI Bob, and if whoever was most offended by nihil asked for clemency, I'd guess that would be most important. I wonder why nihil hasn't replied? I didn't remember that banned persons (a phrase from the old RSA) could read PM's. I'll PM him too. THEN I'll get some work done.
