Jack:
Possibly my tale of woe will clear this up somewhat.
In the midst of the great CDT/ Steve in NC debate in which forums were being abused, wholesale 'banning' was rampant & new forums were being created I made a post complimenting somebody for something (age & time eh). There was no way that the post could be construed as anything but complimentary. I believe that this post was on the yellow but I was also posting here, well that was enough to get me banned on the yellow although the owner, Steve Shin, would never come right out & say so, only accuse me of 'hanging out here' and voicing my hatred for him, another of his, 'caught in the middle of a temper tantrum' mis-truths (all pre & post ban comments by me are available on this forum). Steve subsequently wrote me seven (7) e-mails, in all fairness I asked why I had been banned so that accounts for one. The content of those e-mails would make a prison inmate blush. I spent over a quarter century as either a Firefighter or a Cop and I've never been dressed down with quite those words! He (Steve) did 're-instate' me saying.and I quote "I am going to make a point and leave you unblocked to proove to you that you *_*_*_*_*_*es can NOT stay away from the yellow", that was one of the calmer ones. I declined the offer & continue to do so.
So, he will probably get over it & re-instate you with some kind of 'stern warning'. As is obvious, after those e-mails I care little for the individual & can easily live without his forum although I willl miss the YFPP. :0
