Geoff... I think his suspension was the result his overall behavior on all the boards. The constant name calling is a violation in itself. Now I understand that we all call each other names, but Scumbria did it to the extreme and was repetitious. This is covered in the TOU. His latest phase was calling everyone a moron, He picked this up from Bilow. Personally I'm glad he has been suspended and I wrote to SI Administration and thanked them. They replied by saying, "Thank you for your support of SI". Like many others I have had Scumbria on ignore for several weeks. Now we all get to ignore him permanently. I will feel no loss.

Windsock, I checked out the GEORGE W. BUSH IS PRESIDENT thread. SI has a number of posts limit in 24
hours or something. If you scan all the way to the bottom of Scumbria's Recent Posts list, you find the time span is
from Thursday at 2:40 pm to Friday at 9:38 am. Looks like about 100 posts that SI lists in that time (all posts by
him, not just to the Bush thread). Also, reading a handful of them produced phrases like "this thread is a bunch of
morons", and "have you been drinking while posting"...Hey, people get warned on TMF BB for just calling a
person a basher, when the person accused absolutely is on the tread for no other reason than for doing that!

I don't like suspensions either, but you can't post every 10 minutes for a day while being caustic to everyone on a
particular thread without getting a ton of attention.

Tony
