Hi Lola <g>

It is very possible that Michel was asking for verification for some possible action. I dont know. But you assume what that action might be and it has not yet happened. I'm sure though that if you want to get banished that you will achieve it by either (a) breaking the rules, or (b) continuing to use that humungous signature :)

iro JVP we dont know the facts. We can sit here all day condemning and arguing and judging and whatever but at the end we dont know what the facts really are. You can argue that UT should disclose the facts but really, we can all think of various scenarios where it would be inappropiate to discuss such things in public.

The only thing we do know is that the UT management have never abused their position or acted in a prejudiced way before and surely this must give some credit to them.

Later.

>I would be right there with you if it weren't for the fact that Michel requested that I give him a first/last name verification. His email was very obviously pretending to update the profile. Did you get such a request? Did anyone else? This was only after I [set obsenity checker on] irked [set obsenity checker off] him off and he wanted to find some reason to banish me. It was very transparent and did nothing to help me feel that anything else that has been done recently would have been fair.

>>We are not in possesion of all the facts. Therefore we have two options (a) give some benefit of the doubt to UT management who have a long track record of essentially playing even-handed, or (b) we can choose what we want to beleive happened and judge witout all the facts on hand.

>>I don't know the facts. Therefore I can have no informed opinion on the banishment. I can express an opinion that I would like to know the facts. But that is a different issue.
