Not saying that you deserve it here or anything, Rudy, but I don't think anyone gets banned from this site anymore.

For the most part, the moderators have disappeared. This is unfortunate, because when this site was first online, they were real good about not letting arguments get out of hand. A thread like that Obama one would have been immediately moved to the off-topic section, and the moderators would have kept a VERY close eye on it. That way, while people could state their opinions, nobody would have been allowed to say stuff that would really torque other folks off. There were debates, not arguments.

It's really unfortunate that nobody seems to be in charge anymore. When there was, it made for a much nicer environment.
