I don't know what one has to do with the other,

You said that I am short on compassion because I do not consider someone being banned from an on-line forum to be a great personal tragedy.

Frankly, she brought this one on herself. She was warned via e-mail about what the forum management considered to be inappropriate behavior and she refused to conform to their rules. So she was banned. By her own admission, she was also banned from tek-tips. She has had "issues" with Andy on the MSDN forum. Does anyone see a pattern here? Perhaps Naomi should do some soul searching to see what she is doing to cause this sort of reaction over and over again.
