This was clearly sarcastic. Note that i mentioned hippies, and my own
failure to ever stand for anything and be banned myself. What I wanted to
point out is that us 'little people' constantly act and react out of fear.
Fear of a higher power like honesty and duty, or fear out of losing
pleasure, like being temp banned. Either way, though, we are trying to get
life to give us more by sucking up to the promises its made in the past.
This is what I'm against, and why I wanted to say it here, right after a
clear example. I have nothing against Gary Kleppe. But If I hadnt said what
I said the way I did, the point would not have been made. I may have hit a
sore spot considering someone just got banned, but hey, thats the string of
events, right?

While I had (and have) little doubt that your post was meant to be taken
facetiously, it and this follow-up are still in violation of list rules,
and have earned you your first tempban. (And a note to Adrian Tymes, if
you base a spamfic on an Admin post, please remember to remove the
[Admin] tag from the subject header.)

I should hope, BTW, that bulk of our subscribers refrain from spamming
the list -- apart from occasional mistakes, which we all make -- not
(primarily) out of fear of being tempbanned, but because they understand
and support the purpose of the list as a forum for dissemenation and
discussion of fanfics.
