"Another inmate once asked me why I didn't simply make these posts at the TAS forum. I tried that once but they were deleted immediately and my account removed."
Some history: "In 1975, Little League Baseball banned all non-US teams from the World Series."
Why? Because the Asian teams were too formidable. At the time, the Little League mentality was: "If you can't beat'em--don't play'em." Apparently, TAS has adopted that same mentality for some formidable posters who are persona non grata at its Internet stadium. But hope springs eternal, Charles, and history is on your side: "After considerable criticism, the ban {on Asian teams} was rescinded the following year."
History notwithstanding, don't hold your breath waiting for a torrent of criticism to descend upon TAS, or for TAS to adopt a policy dedicated to the proposition that sunshine is the best disinfectant. ~:)
