Oh, it wasn't a threat. I reported you, as did two lurkers who contacted me, upset at your behavior. Please keep going. I'd like nothing more than to see you kick your own butt off SI. Good night all.

Well, if you disappear suddenly, we may have to conclude that Poet managed to persuade Jeff that her feelings were hurt seriously enough to ban you. My experience with her has been that she's been emotionally a bit fragile the past few weeks, contrary to my past experiences with her. Hopefully it will pass and she'll return to her normal state. Anyhow, if you aren't banned, keep posting so we won't think the opposite.

Quite some time back, Poet told me not to post to her, so I'll have to post to you. This is the unmoderated NO GLOVES boxing ring. I think Harry Truman, a Democrat, said it best: If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Poet now has TWO protected, moderated threads to post in. She is the moderator of one of those threads; X moderates the other. In one she can exclude anyone who offends her (such as you and I); as to the other, I'd be very surprised if she did not get her way if she wanted someone banned. If she can't take the rough and tumble of real world debate and language, perhaps it is best she stay in them. May I point out that we have asked no quarter and we have not run to Mommy when our toes have been stepped on?
