Because they wrongly assumed I was a troll based on my views and my banter.
Because I feel my ban is unjustified.
Because my ban appeals via the Contact Us Link and PM’s to the admin through new accounts are being ignored.
Because I created a new account to ask the admin for another chance who replied not to message him again and that my ban is permanent.
Because it’s a very large and active forum.
Because I enjoy the numerous notifications.
Because I can avoid members I had issues with and engage with those I don’t.
But unfortunately, I’m on the admin’s radar for sockpuppet accounts
I'm going to try to be as nice as I can here.
It is you, you're the problem, your posts are written like someone who wants to pick a fight with the masses.
Maybe it's just your personality type, and you don't actually mean to come across this way, I don't know.
But you do, and so instead of trying to get back into a forum you were banned from, take some time and look at yourself deeply, and ask why do I come across as so argumentative all the time.
Life is going to get harder with age, not easier.
You have more responsibilities, get a career, spouse, children, mortgage, lots of coworkers, and you have to learn how to get along with ALL of them, or implode.
Just saying anything that comes to mind is the road to ruin.
Learn to take 30 seconds and think stuff through before Opening Your Mouth, or Typing on your keyboard.
Filter out the idiocy, reword the comments to NOT seem like you are purely trying to cause an argument, and only then say or type something.
I'm a Senior Specialist, have many people who work under me, and even after years and years of doing so, have to stop, take a deep breath, or 15, and then try calmly to express my thoughts to my staff. If I were to just angrily say whatever first came to my mind, the working relationship would not exist that we have.
I would be the hated, grumpy old man!
Doesn't matter how I feel at that moment, only I can control my words and actions.
For the most part I am loved at work, and love them in return. But any relationship is work.
Be it with coworkers, spouse, neighbors, parents, children, the ditz at a 4 way stop who doesn't know how they work, the teller at the grocery store, or people on the internet who are faceless but still have feelings. Any relationship must be viewed as a two way street, and those two way streets have rules, like center lines, speed limits, stop signs, 4 way stops, traffic lights, merge lanes, and possibly even a round about to really cause confusion for some.
But learn the rules, and that street because easy to drive, maybe even a pleasant one!
