I saw it Matt, and I read some. I think it is a crapy thing to do to anyone (banning), for any reason short of threatening you with physical harm and or harassment.
If you did not realize the situation, you purchased something and now could not get your money back even if you wanted to!!! It is a lesson learned...
On the Chad side of things, having an opinion on a subject should not get you banned. This was, or so I thought, a forum for the discussion of ideas and opinions. On a local forum site no less, someone was banned for posting his opinions on the methods by which another local reefer was doing business.
Peole have to realize the thing about opinions is everyone has them. You do not have to believe or follow someones advice, without investigating yourself first. If you do (take an opinion as fact without investigating), I think that makes you an easy mark, small minded, etc.
If you don't like what someone says, move on, but they are entitled to whatever opinions they have, and there is still something called freedom of speech. Where is Rob when we need a good lawyer?!?
