Ban for Fun

Banning floggingmolly for believing that his post was perfectly clear. Since you are banning Yours Truly while typing "yet to ban", that statement could be considered wrong, as while Yours Truly is reading said post, you have already banned Yours Truly. It could be misconstrued (rather obscurely, I admit) because Yours Truly could assume you are going on a leave for several days, thus not being able to ban Yours Truly during that leave due to inavailable internet access. But hey, the "have yet" kind of ruins the possibility of misconstruation. Though it would be clearer if you had said "had yet".

Banning Monolithic for a thorough explanation that, does, yes, answer my question, though appears (to me) to be slightly incorrect. It would seem to me, that had I said "had yet" I would have been placing a present-tense statement in the past tense. Though that could easily have been fixed, the prospect of changing tenses (in the middle of a statement) seems.... unorthodox and improper.
