Requested ban?
No. I did not request a ban, for I did not intend to be banished. My goal is to see @othermichael and the fallen restored. This, this I did not ask for.
Would a mod please explain why the text explaining @tinoesrohoās ban states he requested a ban?
Who is lying here?
ETA: for clarification:
I canāt contact @orenwolf directly, but I do not believe that @orenwolf is responsible for my ban, given the contents of a DM sent not too long ago.
After I received that message, I ceased and desisted from posting snark related to the unwarranted bans of members in the 11 April Incident. This didnāt mean that the messages were not flagged - many continued to be after I replied and promised to desist.
Requested a ban = āS/He was asking for itā¦ā?
Ach! Pardon my assumption.
But that language is so unclear as to be deliberately muddy, if that is the intended meaning.
I canāt find any request anywhere. And I did, in fact, talk to @tinoesroho, calmly, about his protest messages earlier today. But Iām not sure if there were conversations Iām not aware of (in which case the ban may be reinstated), but I didnāt see them.
Based on my conversations, I was satisfied with my DMās with @tinoesroho and saw no issue for further action. Iāve reinstated him.
Wow. OK.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Thank you. Iām glad to be back.
Hereās to you, who took it with far more grace than I.
That is disingenuous. Will all future bans be made up to look self-inflicted?
Is this the new āI thought he had a gun?ā
The memory hole already swallows so much, now we canāt even trust what remains.
Just another problem to throw onto the heap of burning trash we canāt put out without the help of the owners and mods.
ModusOperandi was one of my favorite posters, and I would consider it an honor to be ridiculed thereby. So I understand where OtherMichael was coming from.
I fully support the right of site owners to do stupid things that harm their own site. Darwinās a bitch.
Thatās all I got.
Dang shame when a site built on being weird and wonderful purges the wonderful and weird.
That Trump-lovinā trolley finally got his just desserts!

I thought this needed more visibility and is a beautiful sentiment from orenwolf:

Iām darting between too many places. Thanks. Iāma take a wee tea break.
Iām not sure I would know how to do that, and I didnāt insinuate we are freeloaders, I insinuated we are not shareholders. As I said: actively seeking to escalate through reflexive disagreement and invaldation, repetition of inflexible and innacurate assertions, or unkind statements of intentā¦ that isnāt conversation
Apparently you have the right to dictate my insinuations because your feels. Have a good year, hope youāre chilled out when you get back, the whole thing is fucking stupid.
