Once again you're muddling the facts, JLA.

(1) Point No. 1: You banned me. Since I cannot post on RWET, you banned me. Nothing can be plainer. You banished me to Boogieville. This fact cannot be argued. Whether you banished me before or after my alleged resignation is immaterial. You wanted me off the thread, so you banned me. You typed "flapjack" into your banned list of names (along with previous, other, distinguished left-of-center voices of reason such as Mr. Hurst), so you in fact committed a deliberate act to ban me. Yet you continue to play semantic games concerning this point.

Point No. 2: Did I resign? In my mind I did not resign permanently, because I left the door open for a later entry, as my post stated. However, I already have admitted that a reasonable person (of which there are none on your Right Wing Morons Thread) reading post 11327 could infer that I indeed had resigned. If that is how most people read 11327, I should have worded the post differently. I should have said, "I hereby resign as thread pinata."

Re: "I'll be willing to accept your apology":

Bite me.

Bottom line: I remain convinced that you banned me because my criticisms of you were hitting too close to the truth. You were growing uneasy, and you handled the situation as a coward would: You just typed my name into the "banned" list.
