Doug, Mas has been suspended twice (more than anyone else since I took over). There were solid reasons imo why his second ban was only two weeks. In contrast with what I did with Mas I only banned you after the board requested a vote and voted against you. - You've complained about 10x more than anyone else. - I've banned various guys for insulting you (from how you react to me I would think it would have been the other way around). - The board voted against you (I did't vote). - I'm taking a relatively lonely position in supporting the content in your posts, and get flamed for it too. Still you maintain your own posts in the past have absolutely nothing to do with it - in stark contrast with what most posters thought at least at the time of the vote (remember that I saw their pointed comments and that I think they made sense / were logical). Your stance that all these people have "bullshit reasons" is baseless. Still you maintain that "if I get banned for bullshit reasons then the moderators can damn well enforce the same (ridiculous) standards on everyone else". Like I would ever not enforce the result of any other vote. Like I've not done enough for you. Your posts to me often leave the impression that you think that I don't support you enough. I've done it countless times (actions and more words). I've also written posts against popular board opinion (like I think is normal). So for as far as your posts intend to show that I'm not supportive enough of you I think that's ungrateful. Get over it. Show them wrong. Regards, Rink

Doug, If I'm going to get banned for bullshit reasons, then the moderators can damn well enforce the same (ridiculous) standards on everyone else. You believe that the reasoning / rules behind you ban were flawed, but you now want the entire board governed by flawed rules Yup, makes sense. Witness mas' continual get-out-of-jail-free treatment constrasted with the standard used for Elmer. If these were Oscars, Elmer's ban would probably have been the "Lifetime achievement award". Joe
