That is a typical Chinu tactic.

There have been at least two different people posting under that ChinuSFO handle, one who is obviously not a native English speaker and one who obviously is (the one who's posting now). Both have done that banning, then name calling routine.

A couple of years ago, I posted an article from National Geographic (with a link) on Chinu's Kerry thread that dealt with Muslim honor killings. The non-English native Chinu didn't just ban me, which would have been no sweat off my nose, but called me a torture advocating racist on his thread header.

That really pissed me off and I had to get SI admin to correct the situation (which they promptly did). There is a big difference between giving someone the boot politely, as LindyBill does, and banning with vile and slanderous name calling, as Chinu too often makes a habit of doing..
