I didn't know that Jason Black's account had been terminated.
Isn't he the one who posted "another rant by a man-hating cunt"
in reference to Karen Gordon's post? Other than that I've not
seen any posts by him. I think he sent me email about my post 
in the thread Rape Proclivity Among Males - FISH IS MORE RELEVANT, 
commenting on it being controversial. The email is still in 
my CCN files.

You say that you have strong feelins of distaste for my
posts, but do not have any feelings of distaste for YOUR
posts in alt.tasteless.jokes in which you demean and 
degrade women!!! And seemingly do not have distaste
for YOUR posts in these newsgroups making light of rape, 
making rape a joke. So much for your taste/distaste.

That doesn't apply to my case, according to CCN.
CCN stated that I did not break the rules of the
User Agreement, stated that my account was not
terminated because of "content". And some of the
CCN Board members who terminated my account now
want to make "personal" donations (money) to help
me pay for my new ISP. What do you think of that
Gordon?
