If I get banned for asking the question, well I get banned. It’s Jim’s blog and he can do what he wishes.

You've been here almost eleven years, and you think FR is a "blog"?

As to the other part of your post, looks like Jim has already given you your answer.

It’s a very special blog, run democratically within certain guidelines, but yes it’s a blog. A blog is a weblog, a log on the web. Stuff that goes on FR, unless zotted away, stays (that’s the meaning of a log), and Google easily ferrets out FR debate from a decade ago.
