Oh boy.. I wonder if Goldi will ban Neil? Get out the popcorn :P
This should be interesting.
I am guessing that if this one passes unremarked there will be another.
The anti-Paul Israbots will of course continue spamming with anti-Paul disinformation and so Goldi will be forced to either ban the Israbots, which she will not do, or take another hypocritical action.
However, trying to ban the guy who wrote the software could be rather difficult to make stick.
I'm sure Neil knows every backdoor into the programming.
This entire matter is very curious.. one thing I've wondered is why she was AWOL for 3 or 4 days after dropping the 'bomb' .. as a forum owner, there would be NO way I'd disappear for days after having doing something SO very controversial .. (first I will say I wouldnt do anything of the sort.. ) of course she would have to know there would be a LOT of people who would be very upset.. so why disappear for days? Knowing that they'd revolt and then there would be reason for mass bannings? Just curious.. maybe Im wrong but I find it quite odd..

My guess is that she was watching and waiting the entire time. The lack of comment is a dead giveaway. It is the old "the dog that did not bark in the night" type of datum.
I would also speculate that she anticipated that there would be some who would vociferously protest the heavy handed action and that she wanted to wait to have a fig leaf of pretext for the bannings. That may have been part of the reason for her big public show announcement on it.
Machiavellian, but then those whom we oppose think Machiavelli was a great man.
