FTL, you were just a handy example of what I wanted to mention. That banning had all the trademarks of another "your banned because we don't like what you say" situation. Two posts that were negative and he was banned for what he posted. (And yes, he was confrontational. That's what happens when people are really pissed.)
And I accept your explanation that the banning is only temporary. Maybe the board needs a new function called "Grounding." Your grounded for 48 hours young man. You can even make it a status line.
What happened was a symptom of a larger problem. And I'm really just tired of hearing and talking about it now.
I never made a concious decision to leave OA.com. I can't view the site from work due to firewall issues and I just didn't have any enthusiasm for logging in from home. Simple as that. I was bored and didn't feel it was worth the effort anymore. I really hope that changes one day, but I'm not holding my breath.
