The moderators made a judgement call IMHO partially based upon a misinterpretation of Jim's intent. This judgement call was overturned.

There are still a few pulled posts on this thread. For the curious, I will summarize what they are:

#1410: Moderator Comment: "pulled, due to the site linked trying to install that CometCursor program. The user was already notified from an earlier thread."

#1844, 1861, 1865, 1872, 1875, 1882, 1900: All by same poster. This poster was "nuked", they were banned and all their posts where removed. This was a new signup with a vulgar screen name. Moderator Comment: "Liberal disruptor."

#2521, 2526, 2538: cruel reference and personal attack (2521), and posts which quoted said reference. It really was sick, the poster of #2521 was suspended because of it.

Thanks for clearing that up John. Any idea why I was unable to post or login for about a half-hour and why the login page was telling me that the name "Inspector Harry Callahan" was not in the database and "maybe I spelled it wrong". I tried several times. Finally, when I clicked on my screen name I was taken to my homepage, already logged in and everything.

How crazy is that?

We have been assured, over and over and over again, that the moderators do not ever misinterpret Jim's intent to suit their own whims or agenda, so you have to be mistaken. A thing like that is impossible…so we've been told.

Regarding #1410, the user has "fixed" his website so that it no longer attempts to install Comet Cursor. If you want, feel free to restore that reply. Thanks.
