shadowman said: Jim doesn't say anything about banning users. Just that he would prefer a post to General. That seems to be a distortion as far as I'm concerned.
To which you replied: Actually you can thank Liberal Classic for the Ban thingy. He was the one that told me that frequent violation of official FR policy would lead to banning.
I beg your pardon. I have told you no such thing. I am neither in the habit of warning people nor in the habit of clicking the abuse button. Just to be sure I went back to check and I have never told you anything of the sort. Perhaps you are confusing me with someone else.
I'm pretty sure that you are the only one besides me who has ever used it and I did receive a warning about the consequences of violating official policy from the same person who gave me this on a later thread.
Think of the threads where I posted what you called political vitriol (Torvalds=Marx, Stallman=Marx etc. and the Linux Kool Aid drinker comments). You should be able to find the warning you gave me there.
