Well, duh.

With the utlimate punishment being a ban, of course all the steps along the road to the ban are a way to chase people off the forum.

I'm not sure that it is precislely liberals who are targeted, however. It is more those who disrupt a certain quiet conservative and Protestant consensus.

I thought ILJ had made a typo. Epiphany is January 6, isn't it? The 12th day of Christmas?

I'm sorry Bradford. I hope you are feeling a little better today. Being sick on top of depression and health worries, yow.

Say no to some of the people imposing on your time. If they get offended, then you know what kinds of friends they really are.

Health care in this country is scary and it really sucks to be without that mythical safety net.

Add me to the potentially snippety list. My knee arthritis is in high gear and probably won't let up until March or so. Tis the season.

Sports injury Lume? Years of Karate didn't do my knees much good.

What were you warned for? Is it appealable?

*sigh*

I think zoe aionios is more common. I had to look it up because I had forgotten that aionios is an irregular adjective that does not use feminine endings.
