I would never tell Tom how to run his show but...Wow. Both of these surprise me.

[MaxFromQueens]

I feel the need to ask, what ban have I been administered?

[MaxFromQueens]

I'll bear the burden like a man, sir.

[SJK]

I've never called, and would like to be included in the ban. Also, this thread should be included in TBS awards for best thread because of the 20 second rule for Spike. Amazing!

[Rasmussen]

Will Be the Boy - seven weeks

Got it. I will quietly serve my sentence, listen and support the show and think of ways to contribute in a positive way once my ban has ended.

Judge Scharpling is tough but fair.

You are a gentleman, Will.

[daveB from Oakland]

Tom giving Larry Da Perv a non-ban is his version of Jesus' "love your enemies" ethos.

I'm pretty sure Larry recently completed his "time served" on a fairly long ban.

[meamsean]

I'm almost done with Free Darko's amazing Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball, and all I can think of when I see that Spike rule is "7 seconds or less" Mike D'Antoni's philosophy that his offense should get off a good shot within 7 seconds of gaining possession. The Spike Rule is similarly "20 seconds or less" - if Spike doesn't take a good shot within 20 seconds of possession of the WFMU air, he's done.

[Paul DeLouisiana]

Jen Kirkman?

[Sarah]

Are you still keeping the "No calling back-to-back weeks" thing you posted on Twitter? I think that's a great rule, too.

I concur.

[Wes]

Obviously, I respect Tom's definitive No Ban ruling, but I think Michael K of The Cynics should be on a 20 minute clock and have to earn each additional 20 minutes per call.

[AllSussedOut]

Fredericks?

Obviously, I respect Tom's definitive No Ban ruling, but I think Michael K of The Cynics should be on a 20 minute clock and have to earn each additional 20 minutes per call.

Harsh but reasonable.
