If what I have managed to understand is correct (IE posting of a VERBOTTEN link to a site, which dares to pick an argument with LPSG), dam right CB should be let back in.
I come from an emulation scene in the UK, which focuses around emulation of classic fruit / slot machines, and I have seen many arguments over the years surrounding just a small group of people, whom feel that it's them that should be the center of attention at the expense of FME, and have seen links that dare contain material which FAIRLY and PUBLICALY criticize those very persons and sometimes even a full site, yet they have NEVER gained ANYONE a full and out-right ban for posting a link to the material or site in question.
I feel right now that the entire management team and owners of this site are trying to run a total control over news and such like, in pretty much the same way as the Chinese government do when it concerns critique of the Chinese, in every shape, form, and level.
In short, what I see and what I feel is that just a small MINORATY of members whom seemingly hold the MAJORATY of power here, are throwing their weight about, all because they saw something MINOR they did not like!
