Sometimes being banned from posting on The Guardian is a hardship.

I wonder if it's a coincidence that they're reached peak Guardian at the same time they've started going cap in hand to readers. Almost as if they're saying "Look! Look at the unmitigated *******s we're having to publish to pull in more readers as our business model falls further down the ****ter! Help us!"

I would actually like to chip in to contribute to their generally very decent sports coverage, but am prevented from doing so by the prospect of supporting stuff like that. Is there any way of explaining this to them?
