Why do you continue to tell DUers that long-time members are only banned after mod consensus
For example, here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=437&topic_id=3582&mesg_id=3609

In two separate threads in GLBT Forum, Skinner has acknowledged that many GLBT posters were banned unilaterally by himself, without discussion with the mods. That acknowledgement was a long time in coming, but it confirmed something that many of us had suspected. At least we had the truth at last.

Now we're back to the old story that long-time DUers are never banned except after careful consideration and moderator consensus. Why?

1. It's not like this is some big secret.
Members get banned by moderator consensus. Or they can be banned unilaterally by an Administrator.

2. Then why doesn't EarlG say that in his responses when people ask?
Why don't the moderators acknowledge this when asked?

3. Here you are asking.
And here I am telling you.

Administrators can ban people unilaterally.
