You've hit the nail squarely, thesilb: the actions of BFT do not seem to correspond well (or maybe at all) with their stated intentions and purposes. (I don't doubt that my comments in this thread may have been a bit excessive, as well.)
BFT clearly misunderstands how much they are losing by their OmniBanning. Very recently, I noticed a significant change in Priceline city boundaries, directly affecting one of the more notorious hotels in the Priceline stable. Because I am among The Banned, I obviously can't post the info on BFT, so their minions will have to continue to be in the dark. (If you're planning to bid on PL in one of the cities I've been known to talk about, feel free to send me mail for more info.)
