Next thing I know my IP address was banned.
This is easily gotten around, but it's the nature of the thing that is
rather irksome, that someone was unable to deal with some very harmless
criticism.

Looking at your profile (11:30 PM Friday) it says "Registered" so it
looks like you're not banned or it would say "Banned".
Maybe one of the Moderators had an over-reaction.
Well, it's nice to hide behind a wall and make these decisions, without
having any real reason. I know over at the ARCA RSC forum, the developers
of that game are quite touchy and they are losing a lot of loyalists over
it.
No matter that they've been promising a new track now for a month, their
excuse being that it is not ready yet or they found some problems right
before release.
I'd like to see some of these moderators running ship in the real world.
They wouldn't stay afloat for long, making snap decisions based on shifty
evidence. And they couldn't hide behind the internet, acting big and tough.
Oh, well, I can use a proxy for the time being: it isn't like I do a lot of
posting anyhow. Mainly-- besides visiting the ARCA forum to see what new
excuses the developers have invented-- I go to the iRacing forum, to see how
things are going and maybe get some answers on when the invites are going to
be able to join the service.
But I'm for sure banned-- what tough guys those moderators are.

Yeah, that's funny, whatever the heck you're referring to.

Isn't that the definition of a moderator!? Moderation always ends up
filtering out more good stuff than bad!
