RE: a black list on RCU?
If anyone on RCU is on a blacklist, it would probably be me. I have crossed swords with several moderators as well has having a long running battle with Marc over ideological differences. I have hammered him, teased him and occasionally praised him.
I have never seen any sign that I have been treated differently than anyone else. RCU seems even-handed, to the extreme, IMHO.
