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!

I took a look at the thread and I don't see any good reason for a ban -- maybe scep accidentally clicked the wrong button when he locked the thread.

speaking of accidents, perhaps when RS ordered their chips, they used BCM2835 as
the part number, only to find out too late that you need an exact suffix and prefix:

OK, I am not being serious, but the "mods have been very forebearing" today.

I mentioned in that thread (perhaps unwisely) that calling forum users out as idiots (regardless of whether they were or not) isn't in The Moderator's Handbook. Post got deleted, am awaiting my ban Monday a.m.
