>> I have never been consulted. Not once since the thread was created. I know what you mean. And also you were not consulted when KIS was banned either. And that is the complaint that GST has. William was supposed to consult with others before deciding the a person's posts were so worthless that they should be banned. But perhaps he is not implementing that part of the rules. Or maybe you could not be relied on to blindly follow the leader. At the time of KIS's undoing, the three people were said to be the founder, EK and you. Perhaps the founder decided to take matters into his own hand. I pasted W's rules here with bold emphasis on the salient parts. " Notes: This is a moderated spin-off by some contributors to the popular Amazon thread, where we have discussed seemingly everything (sometimes including Amazon!) for years. I hope discussion here, if it develops, will be as freewheeling and entertaining as ever. This thread is for collaborating and brainstorming. The rules here are fairly strict: Adhere to SI's TOS and then think Golden Rule. Tastelessness or thoughtlessness not welcome here. Those are things like repeated swearing, or lying, name-calling, posting "I told you so" more than a couple times a year, harassment, personal attacks, detraction, misrepresentation of others' positions, sniping, irresponsible agendas, vendettas, reckless ranting, undefended extremism or conspiracy theory, self-promotion, etc. Everyone is heartily welcom...thoughtful holders, folders, traders, and fence sitters alike, but three thumbs down by the (pretty tolerant, level-headed) judges and you?ll be shown the hook. The names of the little junta are secret, and may change with time."
