"No, Paul's chain of events are not correct, but then it's a private matter anyway and cannot be discussed in public." Well, for a private matter, it's awefully visible, Jeff. Kind of like argueing in the mall. If I see a security guard kick someone in the face, then they get tossed out on the street, I'm not going to drop it just because the security guard tells me "it's a private matter." Improper enforcement of the TOS is not a private matter, mein freund, it is a public matter that effects us as consumers and as merchants. What you don't seem to realize, Jeff, is that while the site administration is a policing force for the forums, the membership is ultimately a policing force for the administration as well. Without us you don't work, so having the attitude that you don't need to give us an explanation about a public concern is a bit short-sighted. I would sincerely ask you to reconsider and take a more level-headed and open approach, instead of making yet another public relations gaffe that will sponsor more negativity and draw more onlookers.
