Dunno what happened there, wmarshal, but you double posted the same thing.
Returning to the Winterland ban: for the record, Winterland has been a TBP member since 2008. 4600+ posts. Prior to this, he (or she) had a threadban and a warning (separate infractions) in 2018, three years ago. The thirty ban seems incredibly excessive, even for so-called 'A-game' threads (which in my opinion amount to mods hunting over bait, as such threads are inspected quite stringently for wrongthink).
Frankly, if some wankstain of a mod handed me a thirty-day timeout over this, I'd just wipe the website from my bookmarks and never come back.
