Truly, a two month suspension is hardly a "ban."  There is no need to explain to
Vincent what it was all about.  He accused someone of cheating but forgot to
affix a smiley after his accusation.  Without the smiley, it made his accusation
violate the official "ban" on insults.  [Pardon the pun.]

Vincent really does need to improve his chess programme.  : )
