I read your posts over there, and they do not appear to me to be in violation of anything in the thread description. Specifically, the thread header states:

Perhaps it is possible to discuss this subject on SI. We'll see.

Please don't bash gay people here. Not only is it rude, and mean, it just isn't going to convince anybody that your POV is right. Please don't bash any other poster either. Not only is it rude, and mean, it also isn't going to convince anybody that your POV is right (though it might convince some that your POV is morally bankrupt).

Every post you post tells us how humane you are. Why don't you show us your humanity. Think before you post. And if you cannot say something nice, or at least say something politely, without being personal and mean, it would probably be better to post somewhere else.

Thanks in advance

Don't be annoying and expect to post here. Why anyone would expect other people to tolerate annoying posts when they don't have to is beyond me- but if you HAVE gone through your SI life expecting to be tolerated even though you are annoying, please revise your thinking now. I don't enjoy annoying. I'm sure there is someone else, somewhere else, who does- please go post to them.


The thread head over there has been known to say, "criticize the post, not the poster" (paraphrased).

Your bannination based on the two posts you made indicates that you have been banned because of who you are and your perceived past posting history, not because of anything you said.

Why didn't someone warn the public that X the Unknown, aka Ionesco, is not going under the nom de guerre eleutheria?
Actually, it was posted here. Lady Lurksalot caught the change quickly after it was made and notified me.

I found her new nom de guerre even more amusing than her last.

Other than that, I agree with what Alan said. You were banned for who you were, not what you posted.

Maybe YOU could try ab alias change. How about "With Liberty And Justice For All"? :-)

Thank you for posting the new identity of X the unknown / Ionesco. I was aware that eleutheria was an offensive whacko, but had not yet triangulate what the previous identity was.

I am sorry that you had to discover by falling for the trap purposely set up by X.

Is that kind of deception a TOU violation? Probably not. It is a low down rotten scoundrel type of trick.
