**rjung** ’s posting privileges have been restored. His banning was partly the result of a miscommunication amongst the staff, for which I am in large part responsible. He should have been warned, not banned. I apologize to him for the misunderstanding and any anguish it may have caused. ---

Not to complain, but perhaps you might want to put the word “Member” back under his name, rather than the current blank pot there. ---

I stand by my previous post on the matter: it was all about Bill Gates. Nice for you to cover for him, though, **bib**. 😉 You’re a stand-up guy. ---

What did that take, 24 hours? Remind me to ask Rjung who his lawyer is. ---

Another black eye for the clique. Or is that “Another victory for the clique”? I can’t keep score any more, even _with_ a cheat-sheet. ---

I was actually going to ask **rjung** what happened in the AtAT version of MPSIMS. But then I thought better of it when I considered the thread would be closed as inappropriate by that forum’s evil NAZI moderator. 😃 ---

Eh, nothing went on–we all realized “Hey, it says BANNED under Rjung’s name” at about the same time as Bib posted this thread. And we all went, “…Oh…” So you didn’t miss nothin’, no “discussions” in any threads. My understanding, via mod e-mail, was that it was indeed merely a misunderstanding and was no big deal. Back to work, everybody, show’s over, nothing to see here… 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rjung-is-unbanned/107283.md?page=2)
