I have been unjustly banned!

**Posting this for my new username “unit”. This account is an older account I discarded because of the username. *

Dear mods/admins,

I was recently banned for what I believe to be a misunderstanding in the intent of one of my threads. I posted a small paragraph that someone had thought plagiarized, after having discovered the same in a different forum. This is a misunderstanding: the paragraph entitled "Liberty like a fire threatens liberty"was authored by me in both websites. So please unban me, i’d like to continue my membership in this community and benefit from its collective wisdom.

In before the lock!!!

PS - you deserve to be banned. You cannot simply spread your shit all over the internet. We require a little more than that.

ETA - all you did was post your screed. You took no effort to engage in a thoughtful discussion.
This is not a blog for you to paste your manifesto. If you have a topic for discussion, present it as a viable argument and give your supporting points.

Now you’ll be banned again for registering a new name. Nice knowing you!

A permanent ban seems a harsh reaction to a minor offense committed in ignorance of the rules. Can a man not get a second chance here?

Part of registering an account is an acknowledgement that you read the rules.

Rules? We got rules 'round here??

I never knew. :confused:

Send a note to the moderators. Tell them your story. You may get a second chance, you may not - we’ll see…

But ya gotta promise to play with us. As zoid said earlier, posting great swathes of text does not do anything to endear new posters to us old farts. You must engage!

Or bring chocolate and goats, that works too. :smiley:

Chocolate goats are acceptable, too.

Goat chocolate is not acceptable, however.

A link would be good. You had an existing user id, which you have certainly used before and are using in this thread, but it sounds like you created another one to post the information which got that user id banned. Is that right?

Why didn’t you use the user id you’re using now in the thread that got “you” banned? It might have looked less like spam coming from an existing user rather than a brand new one. And if you still have this old user id, why do you care if the new one has been banned?

I’ll second the motion to email the moderators and explain the situation.

Very soon now you’ll never be able to post anything again for the rest of your life!

He seems honest.
I say give him another chance.
Mods?!..

Do you promise to feed him, and walk him and take him out for his wee-breaks?

Were always are simply futile. There’s no way for were to are anything else.

You can help yourself by being truthful.

But, whatever you do, never feed him after midnight.

Unjustly Banned name.

I smell either troll feces, or schizophrenic brain droppings.

Either way - it just isn’t going to work out. We need to see other people.

At least the last fruitcake talked about boobs.
