Maybe the administrators of this site will pay some attention to this. If anyone wants to discuss this site's Terms of Use and the enforcement of them, please feel free. Best would be to include links to examples of posts you believe violate the Terms of Use, and whatever you want to say about the what and why of the violation.

I'll take the liberty of banning anyone that gets into a flame war on this thread. Take your flame wars elsewhere please, let's just talk about the Terms of Use on Silicon Investor.

Here they are: infospace.com

Here's an excerpt:
