Yes, I'm out. That's the second ban I've had in 11 years in SI. I wondered why he'd banned me and checked my post, which seemed to have prompted it [I was in the process of editing it] and couldn't see why. Then later when catching up with posts I saw his threat to ban anyone mentioning Jews/Israel or something along those lines. So that explained it. Plus, his enjoyment of a spot of megalomania. It was fun to "hack SI's system" and threaten to ban him and delete his posts even though I was banned. That was a good trick. He must have wondered how the hell I can do that. I will not tell him as I might want to delete all his posts and ban him from his own stream. It's white man voodoo. Mqurice

I was going to inform everyone that in case they didn't read the warning, and posted, I would unban. That was the case of CB and C2. MQ, He posted religious crap. After I banned him he posted. Then he boasted about. I did the necessary to to keep him banned. And on top of that he has to serve his whole sentence. Non-democatic entities are entities whose sole survival depends on the responsibility of the member. It's based on common sense. There's no need to prohibit nor to allow. Everyone is non-democratic. Knows what is OK and what isn't. There's no police. There's no attorneys. There is no written rules. There is no legal code. Whenever some is punished, he knows why he is being punished. Of course that giving the slightest hint that you have trampled the non written rules measn certain punishment. This may be a nuisance to one or two. But it is the best solution for the overall majority of responsible people. People enjoy the fruits of non-democracy. They love it.
