You were just sat down for a short time. I was kicked off permanently. I learned a valuable lesson from that episode though. It's that if there's a question that needs to be discussed or clarified it should be asked. When I came back from being permanently banned a week or so later one thing Neal told me specifically was that questions should be asked; that there wasn't any "them" and "us" and that we could ask questions and get answers. Being the good men the mods are it's gratifying to know we can rely on that.
Don...As always you present your thoughts in writing exceptionally well (Maybe the best on this site along with a few others); maybe you should have been a speech writer or such in a past lifetime

So, I will ask my question(s)
Neal, Why was I banished? I know I received an error page stating I had been banished for bashing the mods on the site in public. What was it I posted
specifically that bashed you or any of the other mods? Unfortunately my post was deleted and I am not going to attempt to restate word for word what I wrote because I can't. I do however know what my intent was and no where did I feel I bashed anyone. Did I disagree with a decision of one or more of the mods? Yes I did; but, I THOUGHT I did so briefly and not disrespectfully and in a way to say we had to follow the rules. In my opinion there is a huge difference between bashing and posting an opinion. If you have the post stored somewhere, I would love to read what I wrote; otherwise it's a he said, he said situation I guess.
If it is as said above that its not "them" or "us" then I think a PM to me about the decision to ban me would have been appropriate and thereby allowing me to defend myself. You know what, I can live with what happened because its just like life; everything isn't always fair and I'm a grown man who can deal with differences of opinions but like they say in Missouri "Show Me" where I was wrong and If I was wrong, I will apologize to all who deserve as such and if I'm right then end of discussion as far as I'm concerned; but PLEASE don't respond to this with a "I'm right because it's my site" type response. I think that would be unbecoming of you and I hope your better than that.
So I hope Don's above post is true and an answer can be received...Blaine
