I still wanna know why **rjung** is in SDMB limbo, neither banned nor unbanned, member nor mod, admin nor… well, perfect master, I guess. He remains, a ghost of a poster… [sub]I see dead people…[/sub] ---

It’s that whole Zen Buddhism yin-yang cosmic balance thing, y’know? I guess I’m stuck in the middle between the Light and Dark sides of the force, between AM and FM, good and evil, smooth and chunky… **Mersavets,** you know most dopers won’t even _know_ what [“AtAT”](http://www.appleturns.com/) is. 😉 And I’m surprised my temporary banning was even _noticed_ b anyone, much less the crowds who did show up. It’s not like I’m **Esprix** or **tomndeb** or anyone _important,_ after all… 😉 ---

Come on rjung, you know that you felt like less of a man with that missing member! In exchange, I’ll count on your help when the wife and I finally upgrade our computers to the iMac (for me) / Windows laptop (for her) / Airport network. ---

Or was it the other way around? I always need Colonel Korn to help me keep track of these things. [/Cathcart] ---

**rjung** , I’ll have you know your banning was what prompted me to send my first e-mail to a moderator. It’s good to have you back. CJ ---

Just curious, why is this in the Pit? It’s as if to say “well damn, I really wanted to ban Rjung, he deserved it, but we had to reinstate him…ASSHOLE.” Welcome back rjung. I too was in “banned” purgatory for a spell. It kind of sucks because you can read the “dope,” but you can’t respond. Worse, you can’t e-mail the mods from the board. So unless you have one of them in your address book, or your SOL.:eek: ---

The [FAQ on technical issues](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1930292#post1930292), a thread in ATMB, explains how to e-mail an administrator when you can’t log in. I’m sure all of you have read the FAQ. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Road Rash \* > \*\*Just curious, why is this in the Pit? Because it’s a “discussion regarding administration of the SDMB” and because it’s a follow-up to the closed Pit thread [Well…this is the obligatory why was rjung banned thread…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=113244) > [@](#): > > It’s as if to say “well damn, I really wanted to ban Rjung, he deserved it, but we had to reinstate him…ASSHOLE.” I certainly didn’t mean it that way, and I hope rjung didn’t take it that way. The Pit is for more than just calling other people assholes, I hope you understand. ---

Yeah, I have “Register as a Republican” right after “Have frontal lobotomy” on my to-do list. 😉 And Macs are so easy to use even a Republican can figure them out! 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rjung-is-unbanned/107283.md?page=1)
