BTW… not that I think Manhattan should have been tossed out. Just the stark contrast in what constitutes banning based on who you are.

That was the case I was thinking too! He apologized for that. Ergo, no need to ban. I do consider people who leave out the rest of the story liars.

Telling half the truth is the biggest lie.

Most didn’t accept the apology. It was half hearted and more of an explanation of why he was being an ass. Most aren’t granted such a priviledge to begin with. I know I was never given such.

Considering his previous posting history and your missing one, I think that this situation is still fair. Unless you can point to better cases of perceived injustice, I much doubt you are right.

Agreed. This thread has served its purpose.

As for **Blivit** … well, who’s to say. I’m not even interested in his previous names, admission to being banned three times is enough for a fourth forced exit.

The SDMB. Better than caramel covered crack, or so they say.
