I didn't even know that they had been "reprimanded."

Illbay was always cordial to me. However, I didn't notice a lot of anti-Bush stuff from TLBSHOW.

Ooops! That should read that I DID notice a lot of anti-Bush stuff from TLBSHOW.

I don't remember what Illbay did to get suspended. But I'm pretty sure I read he was granted an offer to return if he'd behave himself (whatever that means vis-a-vis Illbay and TPTB here), and he told them to shove it. So he's in a sort of self-imposed exile.

TLB got banned for this thread (there's nothing there now but Jim's reason for killing the thread and suspending TLB), although I think it wasn't so much for the original post itself as it was for something he said inside of it. I think he just pushed the Bush-bashing too far, but I'm only inferring; I didn't see the relevant part of the thread that led Jim finally told TLB to TAH (take a hike).

Now that is interesting. I had no idea TBLSHOW was an issue. But as soon as I started posting here, I had a problem with Illbay. I got into a Islam debate with him on a few threads. I had bad feelings at the way our threads went. (yes I'm leaving it as bad feelings. I decline to interject more cause I would prefer more info than make a speculation)

You're kidding, right?
