What truly amazes me Janice is the following scenario which happens everyday on SI. Member "A" harrasses, swears at, stalks, puts down and humiliates member "B" for 10 consecutive days. Member "B" is the good natured type and never whines to Jill. He simply ignores member "A". Nothing happens to member "A". No warning, no suspension, no boot. Member "C" does exactly the same thing as member "A" to member "D". Member "D" whines to Jill and presto, member "C" is vaporized with the delete button. "A" and "C" commited the same "crime" but only "C" gets booted because his "victim" whined. Something is very wrong here. Can it be said that the "Terms of Use" are not violated unless the victim whines? That there is no "crime" without a whiner? It sure looks that way to me. Jim
