This is just lovely. The first good opus thread I've seen in ages and I'm on my way out the door.
Dang! Seriously... I don't know what you did, wasfree, but you've been here a long time and I think I understand how you must feel. It seems like you should have gotten a warning before the ultimate act of Banning. Four years is a long time to hang your hat in one place.
Having said that, suck it up and write JimRob a non-whining letter. One of the Admin people probably just had a bad night. ;-)
Good luck!
See #59. Thanks.
But yours is a good point. If anyone ever disagrees with a particular moderator action, such as a banning or a suspension, the way to handle it is to send a non-whine letter to Jim, with details, asking him to intercede. If he agrees that the moderator overacted, he can and will overturn the moderator's action.
