Why did she drop in here with that the political drivel except for attention? Did she add anything to the bond/credit discussion?

who cares? Everyone should care. It is one thing to call someone's ideas dumbazz. But calling individuals that is stepping into the not so wonderful world of the Yahoo message boards.

silvertoad and Zeus, I think you may have made a faulty assumption about why she was banned. I did not ban her because of her content, but rather her statement in this post that she is <above the rules>. Message 24435135 If she had answered the question I would have simply asked her not to do so again. That would have been the end of it. I think you will find that my response in previous situations is consistent. There are basically four rules on this thread. 1. Be civil 2. TRY to stay on topic 3. NO POLITICS 4. Those afflicted with OCD will have to suffer somewhere else I don't censor content. Nikole showed up and problems started. The thread spoke and I responded, but not after giving Nikole two opportunities to receive a brief explanation of the very fair, and very impartial rules. And of course her agreement to comply. There are many threads at SI, and maybe there is another more suited to Nikole's interests and manner of engagement. As I stated, if she wants to be reinstated, then she has to take that action. No proxy accepted. No one seemed to complain when I unbanned 14 past offenders, none of which I banned. Sorry to disappoint you, but I do not believe partisanship or agenda had anything to do with this action. GT TH
