Banned... No good deed goes unpunished

I can't quite believe this. The Foundation has banned me from the Forum. No warning, no notification, just the ban.

I _think_ it's because I warned them about an article I'd read where the problems with delivery from RS weren't being addressed by either the Foundation or by RS themselves... And then daring to explain why I'd posted it on the Forum instead of PMing someone (Liz and Eben are in the States...).

I wouldn't mind if I'd been slating the Foundation or RS directly!

Mike,
Welcome to the land of the banned.
You clearly have been a long-time supporter of the RPi, and obviously
were trying to be helpful, so I'm sure it's painful. JamesH has mentioned
frustrations that go beyond what is public, so maybe you just happened
to step into a really sore subject. Fortunately you didn't suggest adding
the article to the "news articles" thread.

I think the conventional wisdom is that organizations shouldn't try to
hide from bad press, so your advice was sound. But the RPF apparently
knows what it is doing. As they say,
"We're business geeks as well as computer geeks."

You know, that post of Liz's always made me laugh. At the first Jam I went to, Rob Bishop was there in which he said, basically but not in these words, that they were all nerdy geeks and didn't really have a business brain between them.

Four months later and that's truer than ever.
