Re: When you ban a person from a forum...
Anyways, I don't see much point in carrying this on. If they want to address my first banning, great. I'd like them to understand what they accused me of was never said by me, but sarcastically by another poster.
I have gay friends that I care about deeply and would never joke about death like that. I posted the email and people can see for themselves I didn't say that.
I created this topic to request the moderators give people reasons for their banning from a forum, they didn't address this and I guess they won't.
I'm not a bad guy, I'm really not. If anything I've ever said offended anyone, hit my email button and let me know.

jax, this was at the same time I was told how much of a neo-con I was and loved Bush, which isn't true. Context- I was giving what I had been given by THOSE posters.
Most importantly, I hadn't received any prior warnings about it.
I didn't call anyone a Nazi, socialist sure (in response to what I was being called, but not Nazi).
Really? What would you call this, which by the way was directed at me.

Dude, seriously...
People like me? How do you have any insight as to what kind of person I am? So you're content to see America's collapse simply because there are some people you don't agree with? Some one has territorial issues...
So, you're insight into American History holds access to some sort of information the rest of us have been denied? The founding fathers were in fact totally against equality? Maybe you should think through your comments when you feel so emotionally charged. Everyone else has had to control themselves and for the most part gotten along. Seriously, I take offense to that kind of stuff. 'People like you...' Whatever dude, good luck with that big ass chip on your shoulder.Oh yeah, they were all for equality, but not in the sense your idols like Stalin, Lenin and Castro say.
They knew people were stupid and gave them limited representation. They didn't use government to steal money from the rich and give to special interests and trial lawyers, as you seem to want.
Umm, normally I'd consider one who idolized the likes of Hitler to be in line with being a Nazi-sympathizer. Maybe it's just me, though...

I'm sure you're not a bad guy. Using e-mail is a good idea, although I do have to say that I did ask you to back off a bit in the thread. I'm sure if you just lay low and let things blow over things will go back to normal, but just as friendly advice, this thread isn't helping your cause. Just let it go for now, if you 'play nice' I'm sure they'll let you back in the sandbox.

I've certainly enjoyed watching you do the same by contributing nothing.

you really don't get it, do you?
I do that for fun. You're doing it because you think you're right, you take yourself too seriously, and you have some sort of persecution complex.
Try actually going to minithink.
been there. several times. too whiny for my tastes. Present company included.
I didn't say important, just one of the largest ones.
I did say "whatever".
But that doesn't really matter- the point of bringing it up was that most places give reasons for bannings. They don't, because they have none.
They didn't give me a reason. They put my on the list of "people whose politics we don't welcome here".
what a load of crap. I've seen plenty of reasons. none that you want to accept, obviously. You remind me of a smurfhead at work, who thinks as long as he's right, nothing anybody else says is relevant.
Additionally, you think my notions and politics are widely accepted here? gimme a break. I'm one of the flame-baitingest SOBs around here. Used to be. They're too wussified now, takes all the fun out of it. But it's a hoot to watch nimrods like yourself jump up and down without your noticing that every jump makes your already weak argument foundation crumble even more under your feet.
please don't come back to 54

Oatmeal, I see nothing offensive in what I'm saying,
I know you don't. Therin lies the problem.
Enough of this 'poor me' festival already. You haven't recieved anything you haven't earned, and you've recieved your reasons aplenty. We're done here.
Kirk, I'm sorry if I'm stepping on your toes by closing this, but it's gone on for long enough. He's had his reasons, they're not good enough for him, waah, and too damn bad.
