Mani- I read all of Paul's offending posts. They sound OK to me. But I do think Paul should be suspended for repeated vulgar language, specifically the incredibly irritating use of "athwiper". This might have been funny a few times, maybe even a 100 times. But Paul has used this term thousands of times. That's a bit much. Win was getting a little out of control himself. The pause will do him good.

Mani, Give them a break. Those e-mails are not something a grown-up couldn't take. To change a topic of conversation I propose that we analyze Chau's submission to IEDM. Intel has a fully depleted SOI technology that is 35% better than their best bulk. Zoran

Mani, Re: <Suspensions> Thank you. IMO it was well past due. It's nice to hit 'Next 40' and see more than 10 posts. tgptndr

Ref - Paul's suspension. I think that Paul's suspension was totally uncalled for. He has refrained from his usual Athwiper comments. He has stayed on topic. I cannot say that of some of the other people who post here. There has been a big surge in Off Topic posts, and there have been several instances of bad language which have gone unpunished by you. Paul is not popular with most of the posters because of his opinions, and his persistence with his strong opinions. However he was uncannily accurate at his prediction of AMD's financial condition. So this is a censored thread. It should be renamed as AMD - CHEERLEADERS THREAD !

Re: Suspensions Paul has had many posts over the past month that warranted suspension (assuming the suspension wasn't permanent), but none of the three posts you linked to did.

Re: Win Smith suspension Although the post for which Win Smith was suspended could have justified a suspension had it offended Cory or degenerated the thread into an insult fest, such was not the case. Message 16178856

Mani, The linked messages you refer to show no reason for a suspension; I believe you were in serious error and should think twice about it. Banning Paul will only turn this thread, if it isn't already, into a place where people come to have their opinions affirmed by others who think in a similar vein. Surely not a place I would ever care to frequent. Oh and BTW, I surely must have said something above that warrants a suspension from the thread since I am not in full agreement with the majority here. An utterly pathetic place to come for discussion. Brian.....showing himself to the door
