Isn't THAT precisely an example of doing what you say you don't do?

Hello X the Unknown,

I ban people who stalk and harass me, and who like to call names, and act in a manner I think of as equating to those awkward middle school years- when bully boys run the school yards. ... The lessons are out there. Whether people learn from them is another matter.

Excellent post. Right on the money.

Gee, X, your ignore policy sounds reasonable to me. Some people simply cannot handle being ignored, of course. It drives them insane. I for one think the Ignore feature is a handy thing to have, something I wish had been available at SI a long time ago. It is very unpleasant to sign on and have a whole bunch of hateful messages waiting for you. I am beginning to remember some more reasons why I stopped finding it fun here, in fact.

Sorry but this is a lie: I ban people who stalk and harass me, You banned me from the Africa and its Issues thread for disagreeing with some idea you had about "UN forts". When you got the ability you banned me from the Support the French thread for posting negative things on France. For an example of what I'd like to post on the "French" thread if you hadn't banned me from it see below. I guess both threads are defunct now. But that's what censorship will get you.

Lets talk about our feelings.

Ken, aka Faultline is an anal retentive and control freak who likes to ban folks for as little as italizing a post and finding fault in pettiness.

Banning, his forte, and perhaps his first and last item of personal power, is not in the American spirit of things.

Yours truly,
