It turned into a shitstorm, for which i completely agree I am partially, nay mostly at fault. mea culpa. I was egged on, but I should learn to ignore them. I was wrong, and What_Exit was completely right in shutting down that thread temporarily, and issuing some Notes. Heck, I wouldnt have been happy about a warning, but maybe deserved. But a suspension, out of the blue?
Yes, exactly. And you know what? When I read his post about the new rules, no more 'contrast and compare" i deleted the two posts I had just made so as to go along with that (even tho I thought he was wrong). My next post was about teen suicide- which What_Exit had specifically came in to say was now “on topic”. But for that, I got banned from the thread- for following What_exits rules.
