El Supremo did not charge hocus with any violations of site rules. He instead cited pressure brought to bear on him from NFB site community members. Several board members stopped participating in board discussions after ES put up several posts a week ago saying that he would begin enforcing the site rules in an even-handed manner.
hocus has informed El Supremo that he will address the role played by the NFB board community and by ES himself in blocking reasoned discussion of the realities of SWRs in writings he will put to his future web site, tentatively scheduled to go up in May 2004. hocus has asked JWR1945 to join him in working on the various initiatives he has planned for next year re the Great SWR Debate and to disassociate himself from the NFB site. JWR1945 has not announced his plans.
Sorry, all of the trademark bolded names didn't come through on my cut-and paste.
LOL. I won't be posting here much for a while, but you just made me spit out my noodle soup, raddr. (some - apparently all liquid - exited thru my nostrils.)
blocking reasoned discussion of the realities of SWRs
I wonder how "SamCooke" would know all that stuff.
The games continue...

wanderer,
Great to see you back! Don't be a stranger, now.
Yes it is kinda funny that "Sam" would know the details. I didn't even know the entire timeline and I was one of the prime instigators in the banning. Perhaps Sam is clairvoyant, no?
All kidding aside, whatever your opinion of "Sam's" banning here at NFB is, it's really nice to see the boards back to normal now. The cancer has been excised and the patient is doing much better.

W, I'm envisioning you with noodles hanging out of your nostrils. LOL!
A Change Is Gonna Come
(Sam Cooke)
As Performed Sam Cooke (1964)
I was born by the river in a little tent
And just like the river, I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
I go to the movie, and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me "Don't hang around"
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Then I go to my brother and I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees
There've been times that I've thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
so I guess attempts to popularize hocus' "insights" about swr is equivalent to the struggle for civil rights in the south?
