i don't know the whole story of pg taking away your voting rights, but as a guess, i'd say he did so because he felt you were abusing the privilege.

so now, rather than getting the message and being cool about it, you and curi are incessantly belly-aching instead.

in pg's place, i'd be thinking it's about time to ban both of you altogether.

I still don't think giving NSX2 20 upvotes was a very big deal. After Paul told me to stop, I did, then he took away my voting rights three days later. He didn't like my reply to his nasty email telling me to stop upvoting. My reply was "Sometimes you take yourself too seriously." Paul interpreted this as a "Fuck you." Which it really wasn't, though in the context of the email he sent me, I could see why anything other than "Yes sir, I'm sorry" could be interpreted as "fuck you." He has since ignored my attempts to apologize.

I don't get it . . . were you playing around with the voting mechanism and you figured out how to give someone multiple upvotes for one item? Otherwise, I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

voting up someone's comment history.

wow, that's some amazing deference to authority. you don't know what happened, but assume if someone gets in trouble they must have deserved it.
