Just to clear the air, I had to email Oria to ask for his password in order to post this. This may be my last ever post on this site.
For the sake of clarity, the rules of the forum are as follows:
Granted I am guilty of regularly opening new threads. But each of the 339 threads I have ever opened has generated at least one response in context with the topic of the thread, and on the two occasions where someone had posted it before, I quickly apologised, and as Jacques can confirm, asked that the thread be either locked or merged with the original. The implication of this is that for each of 339 threads I have opened in 30 months as a member here, there is at least one person who is interested in what I am saying.
Like almost every other member of this site who's first language isn't English, I have on occasion posted in some other language. I have never seen anyone warned for that much less banned.
I have never used foul or abusive language at any other person, even in the days of the fight with Zlatan. In the last few days I have had to endure a volley of abuse I have had to endure from 7 especially. I didn't notice a warning in his direction, much less a ban.
My signature is in line with the rules.
I have made exactly four posts with nudity in two and a half years, all four have been removed.
The definition of spam is blurred at best, and I have never in any forum other than The Hangout placed a random topic. By the very definition of The Hangout, random topics are actually the order of the day.
I don't write in capital letters.
I don't double post, although I have as yet failed to make use of the multiquote function.
I have never asked to be a moderator, neither have I pretended to be one.
I have on occasion revived 'dead' topics, but then again, which of the older members here hasn't done that for nostalgia's sake?
Everything I have said here needed saying, everything in over 10000 posts, and it would be totally subjective to say that because someone else felt that it didn't need to be said, then it didn't need to be said.
I have never derailed a thread.
For fuck's sake, I have opened 340 threads(including this) in 30 months, which translates to 1 every 3 days. If some people can't endure that, then they should put me on their ignore lists. It isn't like I open threads only in The Hangout. The official Del Piero thread was opened by none other than myself, so how can someone say my threads are pointless? I have opened threads that have generated long discussions, so what gives?
So Bozi, and all the other moderators, I have made my case. If there is a special need to ban me because I have opened a new thread in The Hangout, then go the whole hog and delete my account. I request that my ban be rescinded. I would check back in 24 hours. If the ban is still in place then, I would never come back here again.
For the sake of clarity, the rules of the forum are as follows:
