Banned four starting this numbers thing again.

Banned for the use of idioms on a forum where such practice is clearly not tolerated; you're also lucky as such use of puns in China could land you in hot water.

China officials say casual alteration of idioms risks nothing less than 'cultural and linguistic chaos', despite their common usage

You are hereby banned my Dear Bud (Happy New Year by the way) because I'm not confident in the correctness or accuracy of your short passage above. Truth be told I'm also struggling to try and connect your passage (which makes me think I may be way off base) to rhetoric and techne as proposed by Aristotle.

Does rhetoric function as an art? Or is rhetoric's purpose or "duty" to help the maker deliberate through the process of making art, to made art, to persuading his audience that he has made art? (Not sure where I'm going here, sorry....)

You are saying if I follow correctly that I was gone for a long time, so I should therefore be banned?

Basically, "Hello Bruno, we've missed you, now fuck off,..."

Banned for planning your response. Which is why I didn't ban you earlier,

Ecurb Noselrub

Banned for barely concealed jealousy.

Magdalena

I'm not jealous of Budhorse4, I love her, she loves me, and if Bruno loves her, even though she doesn't know how to make tamales either, that's fine with me. I think you're jealous, so I'll ban you.
