Okay, we are "invited guests," and the moderator is our "host." Fine. However, if I was at an engagement or party and someone was permanently thrown out the front door without public reason, I'd be apt to ask why - which is exactly what I'm doing now. I went through Andrechuk's nearly entire (available) post history, and did not see any evidence of abusive rhetoric. I can see the nature of his posts as somewhat odd (like the java applet or whatever), but being "odd" is not a reason for a ban. In truth, I saw Bert act as an agitator, too, with the needless correction of grammar. Either way, I would just like someone to point out an example of these so-called "abusive" posts that you are all citing. Then I'll gladly shut up.
I understand that we may disagree on what "abusive" posting is, but the issue for me is that in Bert's original post, he didn't cite these specific examples. I think that as a community moderator who is trying to act in our best interest, this must be done.
(by the way, I asked my son to grammar-check my post.)
