Could someone who isn't banned over at Terry's please post this for me? Thanks!

I also noted a couple shots at this group, attacking us because we have banned people for refusal to follow the simple community rules. They use temporary suspensions, and attack me because I do not. Read the address, folks; this is an MSN community; there is no provision for temporary suspensions here, the only actions I can take are:
1. Delete an offensive post - (no way to edit it)
2. Ban the Poster -

You weren't attacked. I believe you're referring to this paragraph:
But the reason I'm posting this note is because of two other things I noticed while briefly looking about. First, Message 21 from Salty in the above thread ponders why we put up with Scott here. I wonder if someone who isn't already banned over there could post a clarifying note to the effect that we rarely do permanent bannings here (only 3 in 2-1/2 years), but we do have 24-hour suspension of posting privileges, and that Scott has received these three times. And perhaps, if you're courageous, you might suggest that bannings at Terry's board not be permanent.
Since the only reason bans are permanent is because MSN doesn't provide a temporary suspension facility, does this mean you wouldn't object if I rejoined under another name?

You did read their agenda over there, didn't you?
http:///
outlines the debate as:
Creation versus evolution.
God versus science.
Faith versus materialism
That's not the agenda, that's just the "grabber" for the home page intended to get people's attention. The immediately following sentence introduces the possibility of reconciliation, saying:
Is one right and the other wrong? Must one be choosen over the other, or is it possible to combine faith and science?
