I was also issued infractions at the same time. CMAC appears to have infractions as well, and so did a few others. Some members in the "PC banned?" thread wondered aloud about why and how someone is banned. That is the reason for this thread: people can talk about the rules. Do I think I know everything about the rules here? No. Do I know them generally? Yes. TW posting I am "feigning ignorance of the rules"; is a flat out assumption and it's wrong. Nowhere did I say I didn't know the rules. As far as feigning ignorance, what is harder to believe IMHO is that TW- as one of our longest members and a former moderator- thinking he started a new thread by posting in this thread. I asked him in a PM politely and he said that was the case. So I guess he did think he started a new thread; that can be chalked up to confusion about the how the forum operates - which does show there is "unclear" views ala TBOmachines post.
PC believes I tried to get him banned, and you believe that someone tried to get you "punted". I have never tried to get anyone banned.

It's good to talk about rules we all operate under- because what is clear is that there is some misunderstanding.

I have not received an infraction in years. Any time I did, I was given 1. I knew what I did and I could modify my behavior. This time I got several (6 or 7 of I remember correctly) with in who knows what time frame. I never even saw what I was banned for because when you are banned you are locked out.

I am not a big believer in coincidences. The fact that both of us received multiple complaints for the same person, (mine were from a dog and PC's were from an engine) in one night points to a intentional effort to get up both banned.

Personally I do not think the people who were targets (the dog and engine) are the ones who did the reporting.. I think it was one person who reported both of us. No idea who nor do I really care.

Today i learned that being king of an island full of racial minorities that are allowed to live for study purposes by their betters makes you a world traveller!

By his actions it seems clear who did the reporting.

"Wow. People can be nutty around guns.

Open carry seems whack to me. Two thugs with knives could steal such a person's gun w/o too much trouble. "

Might be time for a new thread on this, I have more experience than many with it , I don't want to clutter up an ongoing discussion with a subject that's going to go wild instantly though .
