Do you travel for skunks or for skunk-afflicted woodchucks? I don't know what SI Jeff will do about suspensions, but Poet and I evidently have a disagreement about what should happen if there aren't any from that quarter. I'll wait until Jeff renders a verdict. Nah, I won't wait. My position will probably be this: First, I'm fully aware that you were not making a threat to shoot CL. But because you (intemperately) merely used the word "shoot," a freighted word, I believe that, for the sake of precedent and of not being in the position of having to explain to someone else (someone with a motivation not to understand) in the future why their use of the word "shoot" or "gun" in regard to some poster is a threat, but Ish's use of the word "shoot" wasn't, you should be suspended from SMBR for a few days. Because precedent is on occasion more important than common sense. And because hard cases make bad law. And all those usual reasons. Since Poet thinks no suspension, and I think 4 or 5 or 6 days, I'd go with a compromise of two or three. Bend over. I believe CL threatened you in an attempt to be all scary and powerful-feeling, and don't buy for a mini-second his amusing "the promise was to report a TOU violation to SI" bs, of course. Let's see what Jeff does. It's all academic for now so straighten back up and pull up your pants. I'd love to get suspended myself for a few days, actually.
