No it was not me. I had no knowledge of Poet's other account and I don't think I ever have complained to SI administration about anything other then a technical problem. I also have no motivation to want to turn Poet in. I have no animus against her and I am not such a stickler for the rules that I feel I should turn someone in any time I think the rules are violated. Tim

No one got Poet suspended except Poet. Her violation of TOU was crystal clear. If someone turned her in, they were only following many precedents set by Poet herself. She has always been quick to report others for alleged TOU violations. You live by the sword, you die by the sword. Moreover, the only person with the power to suspend people is SI-Jeff. I have never been suspended, despite being reported to SI-Jeff for alleged violations on several occasions by Poet (according to her public posts). Whistle-blowers are among the least popular people in the world, as is evident here. But the irony is, that Poet herself has never been reticent to do the blowing on others.
