This time, hopefully, with less bile and more of a smile and attention that the phrase "customer service" is supposed to be associated with. So SI Dave is supposed to drop the rest of his administrative duties and kowtow to you, answering your questions in a manner you think is appropriate? You have a hell of a lot of nerve, expecting that kind of "service". Ray was warned over and over again, over the course of years, about his posting behavior. He was met with far more respectfulness by the SI administration than he ever doled out to most of his fellow "clients". And if there is any question in your mind that Ray's political beliefs caused his boot from the site, rest assured that this is not the case. His posts were increasingly disrespectful, misogynistic and provocative. I read his last post, in which he graphically and gleefully proposed the rape of Emily Miller, and was absolutely disgusted by it. The administration was correct to act in the manner they did with Ray. And Dave has been more polite to you than you deserve. Now, let him do his job please.

Life would be a lot simpler if SI put up a policy that says, apart from the GWB thread, graphic sexual insults will get you banned for life, period. Then enforce the policy and make the enforcement known. How many TOU violations would we see for that offense after that? Not many. And what would we lose by banning the offenders? Do they balance the GFY-style insults with sterling market commentary and insight? Rarely, if ever. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
