I honestly don't know why anyone is banned, to be perfectly honest. Resurrection, the guy in New Jersey with the Penguin avatar, and another user whose name begins with an S were banned, much to my surprise as I did not read anything overly sexual, racist, or threatening by any of them.
I know the guy in New Jersey was abrasive and harsh about people with liberal politcal leanings, but I never read anything to warrant banning.
I don't know, but perhaps if they are allowed to post here, they may learn something and we may learn something.

I remember a user a while back who was a little offbeat, but I always thought he was kind of cool. He often asked the types of questions a lot of other people have but are afraid to ask, and I admired that. I always stopped to read his posts whenever I came across them. This was years ago, so I can't clearly remember, but I think he and I even had a few PM exchanges, and he never said anything questionable to me. I remember him as seeming even a little shy.
I was surprised to see one day that he was banned, and made a comment about it in one of the threads.
Another member wrote me privately and explained that this guy had apparently been sending sexually explicit messages to some of the girls on the site, and wouldn't leave them alone. He had never been like that with me, so I didn't know.
I was really sad to hear about this, because in all honesty, I wouldn't have guessed from his posts that he would do such things. But I was thankful that the mods were looking out for us.
Now, I'm certainly NOT SAYING that every member who is banned is doing something like this AT ALL, but I know that for myself, it was a real eye-opener as to all the things that may be going on behind closed doors.
Just a thought.
