I should clarify why Sultan is currently banned because it is clear the he (AB, Antonius Block, or Sultan) and Cgannon have lost sight of the issue.
AB was banned on April 1st for posting an Avatroll of President Bush and Leader Bashing by labeling the president as the "biggest fool of all". He would have been equally banned for posting the same content about Chirac, Blair, or any other leader. The ban length at that time would have been 3 to 7 days for part of an ongoing pattern of immature and childish behavior that final violated several fairly clear prohibitions.
AB pleaded to be released for the ban if he would voluntarily do a number of things including cut the crap in the avatar, title, and signature Romper Room. He also offered to do a number of other things that were clearly excessive and not required. The reason his ban was relaxed is because the restrictions that he voluntarily agreed to would effectively eliminate the risk of further stupid behavior if he would abide by his own selfimplemented restrictions.
Three weeks go by and AB is bored or otherwise emboldened enough to decide that his behavior contract may not be enforced so he starts to do cutesy little things to test the strength of the electrical charge in the perimeter fence.
The rule is "do not step over the line or you will get in trouble".
AB's response is:
"Can I stick my hand over the line??"
"If I crawl over the line on my belly does that count??"
"If it rains and the line is blurry does that still count??"
"If I post a picture of God on Sunday is that still the same thing??

The answer is "Cut the crap. Choose to focus on some issues and stop testing how quickly you can get yourself shot for being and idiot on multiple occasions. Live up to your agreements. Be and adult."
