I, for one, would agree to defer to Eric's judgement and the current appeals
process (yes, to Eric) for suspension along with sending my $$. However, I
would not want suspensions to indefinite nor would I want punishment to
include permanent exclusion, unless money is refunded (entirely, prorated,
or whatever).
Thus, I recommend that everyone who mails the $10 (or whatever) do so with
the understanding that Eric has the discretion to suspend anyone for up to
30-days for posting violations.
Of course, all this is made easier by using a free service.
