Blacklisting
>>>MathProf's POM basically condemned ever mentioning anything about a promotion.<<<
I'd have to re-read the post but I believe MP simple gave the different scenarios of what might happen if a poster provided promo/inside info. I do not believe his post was as biased as you state.
>>>Blacklisted<<<
I'm a GC member and my monthly blacklist report did not have your name on it, so you are apparently still welcome.
