My sincere apologies, I was not counting (i will in future) I might add I joined with this account in 2005 and have 13.5k+ posts and you joined in late 2006 and have 17.5k+ posts, I will go and clean the carpets.
My bad. I am sorry I disappointed you. I may be a pedant, but I'm also crap at English. Sorry, what I mean is, I was impersonating Ernest, so all spelling and grammatical mistakes were (and continue to be) deliberate. Come to think of it, maybe I am Ernest. The suckers can ban one of my accounts, but they'll never ban them all.

and Have I Got News For You have a lawyer (or team of lawyers) checking the very contentious things before they say it with the power to veto dodgy things. In addition fact Ian Hislop was/is the most sued man in Britain for Private eye "stories", following what they do isn't best practice

Does "Have I got News For You" go out live then? I thought it was recorded and edited, looking back on past shows where they show "Out Takes" itt certainly gives that impression.

I think you are clutching at straws as I dont see any distinction. In fact libel(if it was) would be more salient if it was an albion footballer as gulls eye found out with its article about people running the club.
Im just finding it a bit to coincidental that a few weeks after i was banned for "racism", based on the premise I made an unsourced quote that Ernist is banned for similar, who makes a "politics" claim which was the conclusion I came to about my ban, I haven't spoken to Ernist at all about my ban or his.
Neither ban has been posted in the moderation forum with an explanasion.

well this is certainly making my day at work more entertaining.....
Are you being deliberately obtuse, or are you just hard of thinking?
Ernest's infraction has NOTHING to do with his 'political views' - had the public figure at the centre of his post been a Labour peer or a UKIP councillor, rather than a Tory, the moderation would have been exactly the same. Its utter nonsense to suggest otherwise.
And the reason that his 'banning' is not posted in 'Moderating Decisions' is that he was never banned. If he recieved an infraction that carried points, and those additional points, added to existing points, carried him over the threshold into an automatically generated short ban, that is different.
Infractions are not posted anywhere. they are between the moderator(s) and the poster, and are intended to be private, unless like here, the poster in question chosses to make them public for some reason.

By Politics I dont mean left/right bias but a level of unsophistication bordering on incompetance. Having not seen Ernists post I cant comment, I am only going on the coincidences and his original post in this thread. You may be right about your opaque point tallying system. Anyway I'm leaving it here.
As I said, If I am right there will be more of these type threads in the comming weeks and months so I'll leave it at that, time will tell.
