I've taken some time to read your reply over again and feel that I must take issue with a couple of phrases. Now that I have posting privs, why not rebut and debate, eh?

"....but you were definitely warned several times in September. You even documented your discussions with the moderators over on one of the AFer sites."

True. But check the contents of the warnings. Those warnings were not (for the most part) for being "vicious" to other posters. Most of those warnings had to do with "baiting moderators". There was one poster who requested that I not speak with her again. I accidentally replied to an article she posted and thereby recieved a warning from you around this time frame. Again, my post was not "caustic" against the poster.

"There were several abuse reports submitted about some of your posts, but not nearly as many as some of the others who got banned."

If I had to guess, I'd say most of the abuse reports had to do with the content of my articles. Not caustic replies. A few weeks ago, tpaine was involved in a tussle with the Admin Moderator. Word of the scrap was posted all over the AF sites. The Admin Mod let it "slip" that he has the capability to reach back FAR into the archives and compare how many civil replies there are as opposed to how many flames. One would think the Admin Mod could do the very same in my posting history. He/she might be surprised to find that I'm NOT caustic, as a general rule.

"The final straw that got you banned is when you became and active anti-freeper and even started dragging some of their garbage into FR. If you want to be FReeeper, you should avoid doing eschoir's bidding."

I note that Pesky is having fun with this part of your reply over at the AF board. It is false, you know. I don't do Eschoir's bidding. The day I got banned for posting "AF material" (aka the Substitution of Counsel text from the docket), I grabbed the text from a post authored by a fellow who goes by the name Snopes. Pesky didn't post that info. I brought it over here and posted it on the PROPER thread (staying on-topic, as it were) and got scorched for my trouble. Anyhoo, NONE of this was done at the behest of Eschoir.

I don't even work "in concert" with my relatives and friends most of the time. I'm damn sure not working "in concert" with Eschoir.

Happy Holidays,
Callahan

Well, given the opportunity, you certainly cleared things up. You were, indeed, a victim.

Good God.
