BANNED! for not knowing the it's the Non-Conformists who are the more intellectually inquisitive and hence meaningfully inspired, whereas conformists merely accept things 'as is', eg that the ensuing consequences of devouring some Col Sanders Funky Chicken inevitably leads to throwing up all over the keyboard with attendant ethereal consequences for those receiving the stream of regurgitated bits and bites

BANNED! for voluminous writing of prodigious shit

BANNED! ?

BANNED! for dominating the thread allowing no one else to get a word in edgewise when they have very important things to say that would make a real difference but you have to just keep right on talking without even pausing for breath so that you turn blue while you continue to spew forth your mindless invective and hog the screen to yourself without the first thought for others ... ***passes out***

BANNED for having certain "days". (Banned on behalf of all the "other days")

BANNED! for buying into the egalitarian socialist dogma. Next you'll be telling me that all people are created equal.

BANNED! for Francophilia (does that mean you're a fan of Francisco Franco? - these Romance languages can get confusing.)

BANNED for confusing France  (left) and Spain (right)!

BANNED! for being less than helpful. Is a Francophile a fan of France or Franco (or both)?

 

B A N N E D ! ! ! 

for intentionally limiting the morphological possibilities of "Francophile" to mere two.
since

 

• "-Phile:" denoting fondness for a specified thing, from Greek philos — ‘loving

and
 

• "Franco-:" 

1. French — e.g. francophone (a French-made telephone) | Franco-German (a French-made German);
2. 
from medieval Latin Francus — 'Frank;'

3. Relating to The Franks (vide below); <———

3. Relating to the Spanish general and dictator Francisco Franco, head of state between 1939 and 1975.

 

then it's clear that "Francophile" refers, in nearly all cases, to a special fondness to The Franks — a collection of Germanic peoples whose name was first mentioned in 3rd Century Roman sources and associated with tribes on the Lower and Middle Rhine, on the edge of the Roman Empire.
posteriorly the term became associated with later Romanized Germanic dynasties within the collapsing Roman Empire who eventually commanded the whole region between the rivers Loire and Rhine. they then imposed power over many other post-Roman kingdoms and Germanic peoples, and still later they were given recognition by the Catholic Church as successors to the old rulers of the Western Roman Empire.

All true, and Charlemagne (and his earliest successors styled themselves "King of the Franks" only later was it "King of France". Still,

 

BANNED! for loquaciousness and the construction of an impressive wall of text.
