Yes, thank you for sharing those posts. That is a very powerful story, the first I have read that was not covered in the media.

On the other hand, reporters were able to get to and report on what was going on in the Superdome (at least one took a cab there), while FEMA and Bush seemed not to know the situation even existed, and apparently have claimed that no immediate efforts could be made to help people at the Superdome once they discovered the mess.

You know I cannot make any comments about banned posters, but certainly the life and death experiences in the Gulf Coast and this often perverse little game we play at SI are in two totally different leagues. Inferring that there is some relationship between Feelies and a horrendous real-life experience that would affect banning rules doesn't compute for me.
