Just my opinion, but it's not worth your time, Scott. I've read a few of them, and while an argument can be made that the accusation isn't explicit, there is a strong implicit suggestion that people here are using the same strategies as the Nazis used against the Jews in the period leading up to Kristalnacht. Other than raising your blood pressure, and running the risk of getting sucked into this little brouhaha, there might not be much point in taking the time to find and read the threads in question.Just my opinion, for everything it is or isn't worth to you.

Well, we can sit in that corner together, Scott. I generally agree with much of what Dr Bob decides in these matters.The only thing I don't agree with is the automatic doubling of block periods. I can see that that policy does create a sort of non-arbitrary punishment system, but I think that something more subjective -- like a one week block for everything, unless someone is apparently willful in breaking the rules multiple times -- might be more palatable. Otherwise, I usually agree, too, with Dr Bob's rulings.
Even when they're against me.
