ElM, it's the ratio of ignores to peoplemarks which is more interesting than bans. Bans can come from one crazy individual who is off on a megalomaniacal rampage. Ignores are the vote of the mob. Peoplemarks shows how many people think there is good in what the write says. People with no peoplemarks, but no ignores are not very interesting and are passed by. People like you with a ratio of over half ignores are tendentious and annoy a lot of people. People who get a ratio over 1 are almost working at it. People like Jay Chen are champions who are inoffensive and also interesting. I forget who is world champion, but they had something like 500 peoplemarks and hardly any ignores. Until you, I had been banned once in over 10 years. Ahhaahahah didn't like being shown up [he banned me from his stream even though I hadn't been posting there - he was ranting on in the Deflation stream.] Mqurice
