Summary Hallway Executions


I was a bit more miffed than I usually get with reports on current events.  Adsense kicked me out for violating one of their terms of service. Which one would have been nice to know; then appealing the verdict would have more focus wouldn't you agree?
Anonymous Judge: “You have been found guilty, and will forfeit all unpaid accumulated fees you’ve garnered for allowing us to post advertisements on your blog. What is your defense?”
Me: "What have I done?"
AJ:  "You can appeal the summary judgment and punishment if you'd like"
Me: "What have I done?"
AJ: "You broke the rules, that is sufficient enough for you to know"
Me: "But how can I appeal mitigation or extenuation if I don't know the nature of the offense? Which rule have I broken?"
AJ: "We are far too large and busy to waste our time in explaining offenses you have performed, prior to us denying your appeal.  Besides, if we told you how we come to our conclusions some unscrupulous fellows might figure out how we clandestinely select our victims…er…offenders."
Me: "Then why have an appeal process if the person accused can not address the infraction?"
JA: "Diabolical isn't it criminal!!  You are hereby banned for life."
Me:“That seems harsh”
AJ: “Perhaps, be grateful we didn’t take away your birthday”
Me: “I’ll be sure to light a candle for you”
AJ: “Yes, well you go do that, but as for now go away we have other people’s trust we’re still interested in ambushing”
