Admin NOTE: We usually do not feel it necessary to explain the reasoning why someone is banned. The reasons are well enshrined in our rules. However, it was brought to my attention that the timing of the ban might send the wrong message to the members. Kumar was NOT banned for his criticism or comments on Ian Pont. Ian Pont - by virtual of being a coach AND a member is a fair target for criticism and contrary opinions as long as they are done without vitriol and follow forum rules. In this instance it was. BC is not putting an extra protective shield on any member. Free and open discussion are encouraged as long as - yes, forum rules are obeyed. Kumar was banned for multiple egregious infractions and trying to circumvent the rules.
