FWIW,
There was not conversation that JVP's account would be closed. It simply quit working one day

From what I have heard, Michel did talk with JVP about having dual accounts. Michel told john not to do that and he didn't. I think that JVP deserved a warning.

It seems to me that this rule is being used rather un-evenly. It seems to be that there was an account set up a few years ago that would result in around 12 MVP's being kicked off here if michel enforced his rule evenly.

In my opinion this is precisely a free speech issue. Some people here don't like what john has to say so they complained to michel and he decided to kick JVP off of here. Plain and simple Michel felt JVP was jepordizing his business and kicked him off. This is the exact reason I dont take money for my site. I dont want to influence the free flow of ideas.
