Re: [ga] [Admin] Temporary posting rights suspension

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Number of posts is such a silly criterion for suspension.
As we all know Jim's are short and going to the links provided is completely 
up to the readers.
But in this case it is completely political.
Who complained to the abuse line?
Why was he really suspended? was it TR or AS and who asked for it?
Abridgment of freedom of speech should not be so light?
