A final note on .Dave.

In the typical scenario, we only suspend members after multiple warnings and repeated occurrences of policy infractions. This is not something we do lightly, and we do what is in the best interest of everyone -- not just one group.
For more information, please see the Common Policy Questions page, which has answers to many questions.
Please don't be disruptive on Blogit; there are other people trying to write here.
[Edit: As we have mentioned many times, we are happy to discuss improvements to general procedures, but we cannot talk about a particular case. To make sure this is clear in this entry, the phrase "in the typical scenario" has been added to the beginning of the second paragraph.]
