it's their board and they can certainly do what they want with it. i just think it's chicken**** the way they went about it.

Howdy,
I just had this thread forwarded and I'm trying to determine what's up. I see why you were benched on the other user name and would happy to talk with you about it.
I'll stand behind the decision to pull your user access, but I'm curious why you weren't contacted about any issue the site had with your posts - obviously we dropped the ball there..
I'm in Asia this week so I'd ask that you leave a voice mail at: and leave your contact number - I'll call you back from the road. I see you're in the central timezone, so please let me know if there is another zone to consider to contact you (and leave the hours you prefer).
I'll look forward to talking with you and keep in mind there isn't a cabal against you.

why would i waste my breath ranting about "injustice" on your forum? you run it and you can make whatever rules you want. i challenge you to show me ONE post where i've "ranted" about the "injustice" of it all. i worked my way back here only to find that i had been stabbed in the back. until TonyC clued me in, i had no idea there was such a thing as a "miserable user". when i asked you about the multiple e-mails i've sent (i have all copies) you say you "dropped the ball". one ignored e-mail is dropping the ball. a dozen or so ignored e-mails is someting else entirely.
you don't want me on your board? fine by me. but at least be a man about it and do it the right way, not behind my back.
i don't have any interest in discussing anything with you on the phone as this board isn't on my priority list today or any other day. it was simply a place to hang out for 30 mins or so now and then and see what the daily outrage was. oh, i'll admit there was fun in putting the ignorant, the management wannabes, and the l. ron neeleman worshippers in their respective places but i can certainly channel that energy into my novel to much better result.
so, if you're going to ban me, do it here in the open so the rest of the membership can see it. you can explain your actions to them; i don't need an explanation. the fact that there is such a thing as a "miserable user" setting where you can hide behind fake website problems instead of telling someone he's banned because [fill in the blank] is enough of an explanation for me.

Surely the real Bill couldn't have taken a month to figure out how to "resurrect" himself.
In any case, welcome back. I enjoy your posts (mostly).

I see this as a serious problem. If someone be bad why not just tell them instead of locking them out and making up stories about server problems and such? I don't run a Forum so I don't know all the ins and outs. Maybe it's too much troble to police everyone and much easier to just ZAP 'em. Or maybe you have some overzealous "Forum Police." Whatever. It just seems to me to be a bit juvenile to just banish someone without warning even if there is cause. Rant over.
