| Not to step into a writhing nest of venomous vipers here...but there may have been some censorship issues involved, in that the offending gentleman (sorry, just can't bring myself to say "honorable" in this case) violated one of the "unspoken rules" regarding revealing names of girls who were noted for certain behaviours. This "revealing" was done in order for the offending gentleman to "draw out" more names from the general readership for his benefit. This resulted in a flame war, and the offending gentleman was indeed banned - but after he violated one of the "unspoken rules" which of course, begs the question; if a rule is unspoken can it in fact be a rule? There was also a controversy around publishing photos of the girls who worked at various clubs at the time. So the era was one of social flux and ongoing debate... Three-and-a-half years ago, the internet and various newsgroups were a relatively new phenomena... KRICO
