Power? It doesn't have anything to do with power, IMO.
If one nags enough, no...make that if one whines enough...
Shortly before I wrote that post last night I wandered over to Zeev's board for the first time in several months, read just one page of some of the most obscene posts I've ever read on iHub.
This is allowed (condoned), however...YaYaa's offense, as near as I can tell... was P'Off the wrong people with his convictions/opposing views resulting in the removal of his G/F status in addition to the restrictions on the number of posts he can write.
If I'm wrong, please enlighten me.
