Apparantly this ban is due to the &#8220;snide and destructive nature of [my] interventions&#8221; and has nothing to do with the comment I left, but rather with my &#8220;general impact on debate on the blog&#8221; &#8212; which is quite a compliment considering how rarely I actually commented there&#8230;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf it was true, that is.
