It's also worth noting that I did not violate the guidelines of the forum, at least not in their most obvious interpretation. It's clear now that you deliberately made the rules as nebulous as possible so that you could still exert whatever arbitrary control you chose under the guise of moderation. It's up to a moderator to enforce rules, not act with capriciousness and impulse. It's odd that I should have to point this out to someone so utterly and astonishingly brilliant that Mensa would beg on their knees for their patronage. :rolleyes:
Which part of being told to stop being a troll by Alan, Rob and me did you not understand? You are right that I did not enforce the rules equally. No-one else has been given so many chances to change the way they were behaving. No-one else was allowed to promise to begin posting in a responsible and adult manner as many times as you were. (The rule which was stated, repeated, and enforced in other cases, is three warnings and you're out.) You chose to interpret my leniency as my "picking on you" by trying to point out where you were going wrong, and always, within a few weeks returned to your smarmy and inflammatory posting style. Well, I finally understood that you couldn't or wouldn't learn how to behave in a manner that showed respect for the other members of the forum and chose to post as if you were having one of your cat fights with CSS. And I realized that you felt you had a right to insult anyone, and inform the rest of us that we were stupid and arrogant for not agreeing with your rather juvenile view of the world. In other words, that you were a born and bred troll. A behavior you continue to exhibit as you post attack after attack on my moderating a private forum in a public one where the rules require no flame wars and no personal attacks. You are a spoiled brat who obviously believes that the rules were meant for everyone else. As for your repeated requests to be allowed back into Soapbox 1: not in this lifetime. No-one who had an ounce of dignity or pride would beg to return to a forum he has been thrown out of. You may continue to desperately try to rewrite the history of what happened, in this thread. I shan't be reading it, troll.
Where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master. ~ Ayn Rand

What part of Mike Mullikin's "Stop being a douche to Ravel" did YOU not understand?

I assume you're referring to my attempts to talk about something actually interesting.

You're thinking of fat_boy.

The most disrespect ever shown in that forum was you towards Stan Shannon.

I never said that. It's a pity you've removed my ability to prove it. I guess you enjoy putting words in my mouth, huh.

So why did you delete your own posts, huh? I've asked you this repeatedly, but you've never answered.

:laugh: Accusing me of precisely the thing you're guilty of. Interesting strategy.

Yes you will. You won't reply, however.
