here that Fnord has been unbanned. If nominations are still being accepted, he should be considered.
Fnord was never banned, you just couldn't see him.
now to explain the joke since most people haven't read the book:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fnord
"In these novels, the interjection "fnord" is given hypnotic power over the unenlightened. Under the Illuminati program, children in grade school are taught to be unable to consciously see the word "fnord". For the rest of their lives, every appearance of the word subconsciously generates a feeling of uneasiness and confusion, and prevents rational consideration of the subject. This results in a perpetual low-grade state of fear in the populace. The government acts on the premise that a fearful populace keeps them in power."
