Plautus has not been jailed. Rather, a judge (Jimbo) has issued an
"order" barring him from a single website. It's analogous to "pre-trial
detention", if your whole world revolves around the English Wikipedia.
But for those of us with a Real Life, it's more like being suspended
from school.

Actually, it's more like the manager of the local skating rink telling
one teenage boy he can't skate there for the rest of the week. Then the
adults of the community will decide whether to make it permanent, or
have him help the Zamboni guy for an hour a day after school, or
something.

Jimbo made a good decision.
