Excuse me guys, maybe I’m a little slow or just plain wrong. But the tread linked was a rant about a mod. **Tuba** right? One in which **MikeRochenelle** was banned for socks, correct?? or better yet an old name was removed/banned right?

Now am I to understand that you **omni-not** are claiming to be Mike also?

and **omni** if I read this wrong forgive me. I am **NOT** accusing you of a thing, okay. It just reads funny to me, maybe I have missed something. 😕

Give **addenda** a ceeegar! Yep. Correct on all counts. But I agree that the way I phrased the thing could lead to **t-keela** ’s interpretation.

You _are_ however correct on another account, **t-keela** : my name _IS_ Mike (Michel, to be more precise). Not **MikeRochenelle** , though.

Clear enough?🙂

\<\< I was under the impression that moderators cannot ban; only administrators can. Is this true? \>\>

Yes, it is true that you were under that impression.

At least you’re not referring to me as a he-she anymore. 😉

See we are both doing the **Master’s** work today. We are a little bit less ignorant about each other anyway.

BTW You haven’t heard from **O\_o** lately have you? :rolleyes:
