Before this incident, the only time Chubulor was warned about violation of forum rules was back in August, for "spamming" by mentioning Entourage's disabling of the Edge's debugging capabilities on more than one thread (definitely less than five). Tell me readers, does this meet any reasonable definition of "spamming"? If it does, what about all the people who write about how great the customer service is on every thread? Aren't they "spamming" too?

And, if Chubulor were here, he would not wish to go into the details of this incident. The facts are available to any who wish to peruse the thread to determine how the "courtesy" rule was violated.

In any case, if I were Chubulor, I would not be saddened by this at all, since (a) his prophecy in the "Forum Rules" thread that those two rules would be used in arbitrary and viewpoint-discriminatory ways has been proven true, and (b) he has a better device with a more friendly community now. So do not cry for him, but ponder the wisdom of the current regime for your own sakes.
