Interesting.  I didnt know one could get banned?  I did get a message once that I was 'disagreeing' with someone else; i.e., I was saying some comment was civil, when someone else said it was not.  Then a box popped up that with a 'pledge', that I had to 'sign' saying I agreed to review fairly.  Personally, I find this entire process troubling.  I dont want to judge someone else's comments good or bad because it seems to me it is based on agreeing or disagreeing with said comment.  So unless the comment is egregiously abusive, etc. I say its civil and 'fine'.

On another, Foucault describes this perfectly 'governmenality' which is all about surveillance, panopticism, self-governing, governing self and others, governing from a distance.   This is what G&M have us doing, surveilling each other, from afar no less.  Who says social theory has no use?
