Negative numbers? Was posting negative numbers the reason you got banned? Message 27298506 I don't think so. Zax can post "negative numbers" on the Apple thread if he wants to. Or if you've got some you'd like to see there, just send them to me here or in a PM and I'll post them myself. What have you got?

he doesn't let anyone post "negative numbers" on his board, but still has free range on this forum??? Banning people on SI does seems create instant enemies I've noticed. It'd be among the last thing I'd resort to. While Cogito's moderation is biased towards AAPL bulls, I nonetheless believe that your calling Lahcim Leinad a gabehcuod is what got you 86d. There are many ways to do things. Now if you instead described something that Lahcim did, take for example, PMing you a series of ranting bizarre personal explitive filled messages and then "ignoring" you, and you had instead said on Cog's board "this is the sort of thing that one might find, IRL, that a d-b would do, and I am a strong believer in the Duck Test", I think that you might not have been banned for something like that. I'm just presuming here. I really don't know what Lahcim did that got you angry, but you certainly received no benefit of the doubt or explanation request from the FBC mod, who had only recently permitted Lahcim back on the AAPL board, for G-d knows what offense. I note it must have been serious, because Fanboys in general get preferential treatment at FBC. Anyhow, both you and Cogs are welcome to post here. :) Heck, even Lahcim can.
