Bob, I share Paul's view that these sanctions seem harsh. I realize that when people defy your rules you must make an example of them, but the political statements on PBS appear intended to express solidarity of either glee that Bush won or disappointment that Kerry lost. Jays statement was not a personal attack towards an individual. Someone used a good analogy when they said that cheering for the Red Socks may have offended a Cardinal fan but was not a personal attack worthy of a block. I, too, can't wait until the political fervor dies down, but it seems to me posters shouldn't be sanctioned for saying, "I'm for Lamictal, Prozac stinks for depression."
