I sympathize with y'all, but look at it this way:
1. This is your chance to nail someone for being a jerk. The BN,er,Blogit ringmasters seem serious about stepping on people who are being plagiarists, abusive, etc. You have them in a barrel, in your night-vision-goggle sights with explosive rounds, and you turn around and leave? Slackers!
2.The more good people allow themselves to be bumped out by irritating misfits, the faster the site goes to hell.
I guess the Darwinian pendulum will swing back and bring some more of the old BN spine back, eventually.
