No that would be *permanently* banning an account from posting with undue |
| 11 |
cause. Not for 2 weeks or 3 months, but permanently. Even in such an |
| 12 |
eventuality the poster is free to use another email address. Stalin would |

imo others would protest blatant censorship quite vociferously. After all, |
| 16 |
look how they react to a 24-hour mute on *one* thread. amne would no doubt |
| 17 |
have insight into this, as would jmb, but oh dear, we seem to have lost all |
