I've received 'warnings' about my comments that I feel may have been judged a little TOO sensitively. It seems that I've offended the 'Jury' and have been banned from commenting for periods of time. If people can't take a joke then why bother commenting. I've seen much worse things said than my posts and yet I see no punishment of the offender. I'm not thin-skinned, in fact, I think it's the opposite. I'd just rather not be a part of a 'community' that lacks a sense of humor or the ability to understand a humorous post.

I find the site a good place to see and read articles that I don't find elsewhere. I also liked to comment on things that I thought added humor to otherwise contentious posts. However, I guess my comments weren't in line with the EUA. Regardless, I'll be taking Ruby's advice and 'close' my account. I'll still be viewing, I just won't participate anymore.
