SI Bob, Isn't "GFY" Mickey Mouse's buddy? Hope I don't get suspended for mentioning one of his other pals, "DDK." <G>

SI Bob, Hi, Nice to see you back. I hope you had a good vacation and ready once again to take the strain on those broad shoulders of yours... The responsibility of keeping the SI threads in order. It's easy for us SI posters to find a fault in the system. We are like the passangers on an aeroplane. Payed the fare, ...why aren't the crew perfect? In the meantime you struggle to meet are many needs. As regards to the recent bannings. I am sure the culprits are guilty as hell. Trouble is both "the_cheif" and "Myth Man" are well liked on the threads... I am sure they use there popularity at times as a lever, a dare if you like, to test the envelope of what SI admin will put up with. Most tiresome for you and your hardworking collegues I am sure. All I can say is... Let them know your the guys in charge, perhaps make a slight example of one of them (just to enforce your authority) and let em back on to SI, just so as their enraptured supporters can see what a good magnificent thing SI management is... Give it some thought. There are clownbux at stake I am sure. regards, pearly.

Bob, I have been in communication with MythMan last night and today about this matter, and he is under the impression that he was suspended for posting "GFY" to Bobby Beara on the All Clowns Must Be Destroyed thread. Which is what I said. Now you tell me that's not the case. Maybe it would be helpful if someone from SI Administration told MythMan what he's suspended for. I know he's sent you a couple of e-mails and last I heard you hadn't responded, but that was this morning. This confusion only highlights in my mind the problem we are all having here, exactly what is it we do that gets us suspended? You have acknowledged that between us, GFY is a tacky joke, not a personal attack. At least, I thought you did. Seems to me that the person complaining should be the person who received it, because only that person knows whether it was a joke between friends or an attack between enemies or whatever. I am not going to name any names but you are aware that there are people who are very angry at us and are constantly complaining about us. I don't always agree with you but I think we have always had a respectful dialogue, and I appreciate that.
