I've been banned there too, as have several others. Just wish I could've earned my banning as well as you did!

Now Zoltan...you know better than to involve me in 3rd party disputes. Just not going to go there. I've made my opinion known on the LWP(no gloves) about the wisdom of "banning" which I still hold. There is a series of exchanges with participants of that thread starting some time around the middle of Feb I believe. Basically people are entitle to create threads and maintain them in any way that falls within the strictures of SI TOU. While I may not agree with banning posters except under the most limiting of circumstance, I certainly recognize that there are different ways of communicating and I respect the boundaries set forth by the thread header. So if someone says basically no dissention allowed, I take that fwiw and go where there is freedom of expression. That being said...there is dissention and there is dissention if you get my drift. I have no problem in banning a person if the ONLY purpose of their posting is to create an atmosphere that hinders intelligent discourse and debate. Bottom line it is the call of the theadmaster...whomever it may be.
