Methinks the mods will frown on this one, solely because raising the question of why certain people were banned raises a good possibility of trolls. In other words, don’t fan the flames. Just do a search for ‘banned’ or variants thereof, and you’ll see a whole lotta stuff. Closed and locked stuff, but stuff nonetheless. Tripler Questions of banning raises certain ugly spectres, and I’m scared of ghosts. ---
