I guess I AM a little confused as to how this administrative stuff works.
It was my understanding that you had some undeclared standard for banning
people of which you were the sole judge, now you are telling me that its

I am not telling you that, no.  If you go back and read what I wrote earlier
(carefully, slowly), you'll see that there were multiple factors, not the

you could start over in a few days and try to be more objective, it may help
LEGO to hear those views.  Advise:  Don't tell LEGO it is doing anything
wrong or foolish vis-a-vis the Outlet Stores and big spenders...instead point
out how, while this is perfectly fair in a capitalistic free market, it leaves
humans (who have feelings) feeling tangibly disappointed.
