But if you're saying that you ban people for reasons ultimately private to you (read: yous gonna ban whoever the fug you wann), then there's nothing to discuss. I'll make my own judgements.

From what I've read, YR2 was hated so much because his posts were full of ad hominems. But I don't see what the big deal is. Pretty much every post I've read in response to any of his - and pretty much any comment about him in any context - were full of the same shit. The pertinent question then seems to be, who started the antagonism first? I agree that YR2's comments were full of patronization, but what's that mean on a blog full of patronizers? I've seen all kinds of insults hurled at him. I've seen the same and worse as well aimed at other Koreans here. I've dealt with a few insults myself -- some of them quite unwarranted. I don't know the history of YR2 so I leave this post open. To add anyway, I recently perused this thread here: http://www.rjkoehler.com/2007/02/15/mbc-reports-on-criticism-of-anti-semitic-comic/ usinkorea's comments are full of insults and his language is harsh and even physical; in one comment he petitions to have a particular commenter "beat up." Has usinkorea been banned or ever warned? I haven't seen text like his in any of YR2's comments. @11:
