John,
I felt exactly the same as you regarding Colin's four week block a couple days ago. I have been wavering back and forth trying to decide whether or not to open yet another can of worms by pointing out the blatant inconsistencies in the blocks at this site. The archives can be used as a record of the obvious inconsistencies. And the thing is, a lot of people have brought this issue to the good doctor’s attention, but still it continues.
When one person points out something to me that he or she thinks I am doing wrong, I listen and weigh the validity of the concern. But when a whole host of people start coming to me saying the same thing, I say to myself, whoa, I’m doing something wrong and I need to address it immediately!
My plate is currently over full, so this may be all I write on the subject. However, I just wanted you, Colin, and Dr. Bob to know that I agree with your assessment of this issue.

> I know you have banned Colin in the past, but I got a much needed chuckle out of his comment. Is there not any leeway for a joke or sarcastic response for some spamming this site? I consider that poster's spam much more offensive than what Colin said. Just because someone was banned in the past shouldn't lower the threshold for banning them in the future. I sometimes feel your intention is to run people off of here. I have gotten much needed insight and support from exchanging info from people like Colin, Ron, Isom, and many others. And the guests you have had also. I wouldn't might a friendly jab or poke if I was out of order and spam is out of order. Thanks for listening
