Re: On licensing discussions

Mike,

No, unless I'm very much mistaken, he was banned.  And, indeed, I 
still don't find it justified, this despite the fact that he 
recently sent me a rather, um, hostile e-mail regarding my recent 
defense of Volker following your tongue-in-cheek comparison.  I did 
answer him point-for-point but have not, as yet, received a reply.  
I still don't think that anyone should be banned for what they say, 
even if FUD is involved.  The only reason I think that someone 
should be banned is if they are misusing the board for something 
like, say, porn advertising as is going on presently on a couple of 
the low-traffic Hercules boards.

As for regulating what is on topic and what is not, were I the King 
of the Forest, I believe I might be a bit more liberal.  But, of 
course, I'm not and, in any case, that's all a matter of personal 
preference and my respect for Jay keeps me from making much of an 
issue of it in any case.

Regards,
Bomber
