Well I am just trying to help you help me. I need to understand what I did wrong so I can *not* do it again in the future. That should be the whole point to punishment: To correct behaviour. Apparently I "trolled" now, but I find it hard to see that - I suppose we have different definitions, and that's fine although it makes it tricky to relate to. I don't even know if I "trolled" the mods, if I "trolled" Alley, if I "trolled" Joe, if I "trolled" Sarah or if I "trolled" [LN], and whenever I ask I am basicly told to shut up. To be frank, after this I am not even sure I know what "trolling" is.

In the thread, I was told that it wasn't the right place for that discussion, so I opened a new thread. In the future, if I am not to debate a given topic, just tell me not to debate that topic any further. It's difficult reacting to what you mean, when it's different from what you type.

Moreover, the ban was extended to a week for my "forum history". That is a "forum history" I would like to know more of, seeing that to my recollection all I ever received bans for was from posting a bad meme in one of Shaggy's sanction threads and from winding Toris up a bit in a harmless (but childish) fashion, after which I PM'ed him and apologized for getting him into trouble. Does that constitute a problematic forum history, and if so who hasn't got one of those?

Please help me improve, as punishment alone has a very limited pedagogical effect.

EDIT: Not true, I did once receive a ban years ago for saying it was "retarded to sit off plane or cloaked and taunt players in system chat" at a time when the word "retarded" was considered a (and I quote) "hate crime" regardless of what context it is used in. My bad.

EDIT EDIT: I suppose you are worried about the "shitstorm" comment I made to someone else on Skype, hence the threats. I hope the smiley at the end of the line was pasted into your little chat too - I was being sarcastic and over-dramatizing the issue. Sometimes you lot really just need to realize that we're different people, we communicate differently and sometimes you shouldn't be so keen on interpreting everything so negatively when it's said by someone you don't like. Most of what I write is tongue-in-cheek. I'm not the Great Satan, I'm not evil - contrary to what some might believe When in doubt, just ask. Simple as. I would like to know what all of this is about, however.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: All resolved, happy days. I got the feedback I was looking for, thank you for that. I am sorry it had to take up so much of your time, but let's move on and have fun. See ya's in space!
