This thread is moderated- a decision to ban Ray could have been made by the moderator. It makes much more sense to discipline on threads that are unmoderated, since innocent eyes are unprotected there by anything (irony here is intended). I am more concerned with what this says about the inconsistency of enforcement- I'm always interested in that. Of course SI can be as inconsistent as it wants to be- but it would be nice to have some idea of just how inconsistent that is.

as an interesting side, I went to an art exhibit in Chicago last week - large important exhibit many of his works [Rembrandt] displayed were quite tiny, so tiny you needed a magnifying glass to pick up the nuances it was very crowded as the exhibit is closing and I'm sure the laggers [like me] wanted to squeeze it in before it left the area so we have small pieces, tight quarters and crowds, but well worth working through the hurdles in came a group of French viewers with the manners of porcs - speaking out loud at every piece, pointing, explaining I suppose, blocking views and not moving for others they were not asked to leave, but I think they were asked to behave and tone it down - they did neither, so I and most others, skipped to an exhibit room ahead to get away from they met up with them in the gift shop, where they did the very same thing by all the Rembrandt books and catalogs of the exhibit - standing there blocking the books, paging through them, not moving when asked so I reached through them, nabbed my book and left not a nice French cultural encounter
