I love it...all the goofy little inconsistencies and unfair and juvenile suspensions now coming to the forefront on a thread that was intended to prop up SI Boob...I still remember getting suspended for including excerpts from a Senate Hearing that included some references to an X-rated film (trust me, it was very mild stuff and was all over the media with the very same words I used)....I then emailed Bob and Jeff with about 100 posts which had used the F, S, D*ck, etc words on the very same thread from folks who were never suspended or threatened with suspension and instead of either reinstating, taking action on these other folks, or apologizing, my private emails with these lovely admin folks resulted in them extending my jail time...very mature group and very consistent in their actions...also decided to fight fire with fire and reported some dope who did a lot of name calling, some racial slurs and the like...admin comes back with "yeah, but look at some of your posts"....never did nada with this obnoxious poster, and then warned ME again. Very simply a case of the inmates running the jailhouse and playing judge and jury about who gets to play and who has to pay and as my momma used to say "what goes around comes around" and as Dylan was fond of saying "someday you're gonna have to serve somebody"...G-D today, Dog tomorrow.

Yes but the "f" word certainly exists in MANY posts on SI. Do a search yourself and you will find numerous instances. Maybe one of those vulgarity blockers like RB uses would help. At least that way SI couldn't blame true censorship on a single word. I still hold to the opinion the post was deleted due to content and not the "F" word as so evidenced by the numerous posts still left online that contain the "f" word. I do realize that Jeff is not in control of the privacy (or lack thereof) policy. It just seemed ironic that he would post concerning the protection of privacy considering the policies of his employer and his actions in suspending BearDown for 30 days for complaining of such policies. no further comments
