I have complied with all of it's terms and conditions.

I do not use chess engines and I do not have any other
identity here other than the one I am using.

Anyone I ever spoke to has found me to be polite, courteous and
sporting.

Unlike you I have never been involved in any unpleasantness and
have never ppose us good guys have to take whatever life throws at us.

But we don't have to like it.

All I will say is while looking at my postings look at them in context of whats been said before. The problem with that is what you don't see is all of the posts that were removed ( of mine and others)

Now as for abusive, how about 4 users who have continuously targeted personal attacks and pure hate towards me for months and months.. A few of the worst po ...[text shortened]... ake whatever life throws at us.

Is exactly how I feel...

He was not making an example of me. He was complaining about others
but he quoted my post in his opening words.

I took exception to that and said so as I had not said or done anything improper. He said he had no problem with me. So I asked him why he quoted
me so and asked him to retract and apologize.

He did retract but would not apologize on a public forum.
He messaged me later privately and apologized there.
He told me his name was Flash and he had no quarrel with me.
His problem was with others over their behaviour.

I spoke to Kewpie and she told me that Flash was an OK guy and he
was not targeting me specifically.

So with that in mind I messaged him back saying that I accepted his apology, even though he did not offer it to me in the forum.

did you just out a mod?

Yes he did. Johnnylongwoody, you deserve a forum ban for that. You're now seriously in my bad books and I regret my recent invitation.

Challenging the standard of a moderator's behaviour isn't a lot different from arguing with the policeman who's just arrested you. It won't achieve anything and could make you the subject of an additional penalty.

The discussion should centre on the banning itself - the nature of the offence, the degree of severity of the offence, the size of the penalty, an endless moaning in forums which only results in aggravation and more forum bans.
