Zeev, you are indeed fortunate that you were allowed back on. I know of a few who were banished and had to resort to other more nefarious means to have their say on S.I. What was the name of your company? purething

No, that doesn't count, Zeev. You have to have your own thread for that; 207.183.153.73 ... but you may visit, as long as you agree with Me on all points. To use <g>, <vbg>, -g-, etc on a thread like this would insult the intelligence of fellow threaders, imho. Best to use it freely on Mohan and Kahuna and like threads, though, for the evangelical buy-the-dippers who lack a sense of humour.

Oh a booting makes you a very august, or march if you prefer, personage indeed. A booting is far superior to a warning. So yes, of course, you qualify. As for the use of vbg and ggg, I really don't know. So far everyone who has shown up here seems to be an adult with an identifiable sense of humor, but one never knows when the toddlers will show up.

How could this happen or I was shocked This example points out that the give and take of SI. It is inconceivable that anyone should have been able to pull a JillKill on Zeev Hed. It contains clear warnings to every poster that we exist here by sufferance. The JillKill can strike with devastating accuracy and completely silence a valuable asset at a critical moment, stranding the small investor. #reply-3065379 A system of rules exists which is clearly violated every day. Discrediting posters is required to make some engines run here in cyberspace. A new thread which appeared and went to number one attested to Zeev's wide popularity here on SI and I know Jill got flooded with protests. #reply-3064843 We need to be able to root out the obvious evils of rule breaking (like using the word smarty-pants) and allow all posters the ability to entertain and educate. Concerted effort to silence someone could be deliberate manipulation. #reply-3453880 In a side bar here a full text search of smarty-pants* returns an alarming number of incidences, I would advise all of you contemplating using this word to consider it an ill advised stratagem* Knowledgeable posters who mount excellent rational arguments are a valuable resource, that is obvious, but I personally wouldn't enjoy an SI that didn't include the Y2K glitch theories.
