First of....I'm very sorry for my actions to the Huskerboard staff and members. The juice was flowing very fast but that's not an excuse.

Second, I'm sorrry if I offended anyone with my rant.

Third....

I really want to talk about Nebraksa football!..

Good grief. The misuse of the term "ban" on this board is utterly ridiculous. You realize when youre banned, that it's permanent right. There is a difference between a ban and a suspension. Only Flu has the power to return from a "ban", over and over again. Why is this so hard to understand. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Calm down good sir. It's just a matter of semantics. A temporary ban is still an acceptable way to define it - as the definition of ban doesn't include the modifier of having to be permanent.

For what it's worth I think we do treat bans differently from suspensions. A ban typically means someone has a consistent history of causing problems, and isn't welcome here. Time off is given more frequently as a reminder about the rules, or even just to let someone cool off. Or get sober, as it were :)
