Actually, the accusation that they were banned at HA’s behest has been thrown about by the ejectees and others for years. It was entirely untrue, they were all banned, without exception, for unacceptable behaviour in the eyes of the Eds, the Eds have recently confirmed it and said no way could anyone get anyone banned (and it would be an insult to them to try to or to say anyone could) so by what authority do you repeat the accusation as if it's a fact?

As you say, you know nothing about all of this. So might it not have been better to email me and ask about it before posting all that? Do you seriously suppose you would have written what you did if you had? No, you wouldn't.
