In all fairness to Birdgirl and psychobud though, Greatspirit maybe needs to learn when to let something go and not pound his opinion to the pavement.
I hear you, Mr. Devious, and understand what you're saying for sure. But it's important to clarify that GS/Mostafa wasn't banned for having posted a grievance. He was banned for breaking the personal attack/insult rules repeatedly. As P4B explained, he has a long record of just such infractions, and yet he did that again yesterday, even after another warning, and so was banned for that reason. People are allowed to air grievances all they want. It's when they cross over into derogatory comments, insults, and flaming--including insults directed at us mods, too--that they end up hainging themselves with their own rope. You're exactly right that poor GS doesn't know when enough is enough, however. If he did, he wouldn't be in the sitaution he's in now.
