Indeed what a very valid reason to ban !!
Looks like most of the people who post here are going to get banned - going by
the decision to ban for that particular post !
Considering most of the posts at CCC - that particular one was quiet tame.
I wouldnt be surprised if I dont get to open CCC tomorrow after this post -
since someone may find this post of mine - "offensive" and a "personal attack"
!!
And guess what ! even better would be that I wont even know about it until I try
to access CCC - no warning , no emails , no intimations - no nothing. What a
very democratic way to operate :)
