Excuse me, I’ve been away on vacation for a week. So I’m checking out a thread and come to a post by Anthracite and her status is listed as BANNED.

This thread was at least briefly looking like the most probable site of such an occurrence, but by the end of it I can only see a lot of really really excellent reasons for not banning Anthracite.

I am so totally unaccustomed to posting anything along the lines of “hey, why was so-and-so banned?” that I have no idea how one goes about asking such a question properly.

Would someone care to tell me how I would appropriately inquire how it is that Anthracite’s name is accompanied by the word “BANNED” on my screen?

Apparently it is personal and Anthracite would prefer that people just let it drop and not inquire. That’s all I know.
