Bob, when I mentioned proof, I was referring to stuff like ISP addresses, not writing style. I can easily imitate the style of another or change mine so you wouldn't know it was me - it's a piece of cake. But because I use cable, my ISP address would remain the same, but Spike might just have a phone connection - I don't know.
Still, going back a way, when Jill K posted that Spike was blocked & gave his e-mail address, you thought it was Spike posting. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It started a flurry of comments & posts from others, so I kept back, letting them emote. But I didn't think it to be Spike. You see, I was going to say the exact same thing Jill K did but when I went to post, her post was already there explaining Spike being unable to answer.

Instead, I was referring to posts that are uncertain of the true identity of the person - it could even be a prank post from someone else who decided to make life more difficult for the other banned person.
All I'm asking is that you only extend a ban when you know for a CERTAINTY who the post comes from. If it's already the case that you DO know, I'll kindly back down. I'm not asking for retraction of previous banning.
