I'm not asking to be banned. What have I done to deserve a banning? I just want to know.

Well by going on and on about it, it seems you regard Ming's fair or even lenient treatment as not good enough.

He's welcome to his opinion... but it isn't going to change things from my perspective.

At least you decided to complain here... which is the right place to do it. That's all we ask...

Typical of what? Speaking my mind? Not letting myself get pushed around? I had no quarrel with you, but it was your remark about getting restricted that brought me out. I didn't set out to cause trouble for you. I didn't do anything to deserve a banning. and I'm not blaming the forum. You misunderstood the point of my post. I understand that part. What I didn't understand was why getting restricted was even brought up.

quote: Originally posted by Ming And no, you weren't restricted even though you warned, because you actually are normally a reasonable person... Now take up your complaints in the proper fashion. That's all that was asked of you. I don't think that's asking too much.

And it is because I am a reasonable person that I was shocked about the restriction threat. I know you have to deal with some really difficult people, but I didn't like being lumped together with them, because, I AM a reasonable person.

Now, I've said what I wanted to say. I thank you for not restricting me. I'm sorry if I gave you a hassle, but I had to get my point out. And i had to see if you'd really ban me for it.

I'll go back to being reasonable again.

Addendum: I cut and pasted this from the General forum. I was unaware that there was a specific place for complaining about moderation. I'm done. Sorry Ming

Just a wild guess, but:

He started a thread which was deleted.
He started a complaint about said deleted thread in the wrong forum, and it was closed and/or deleted.
He started another thread about the above threads in the correct forum section, and all was sorted out.

He started the thread I linked to in the previous post.
It was closed, and he whined in several other threads in the Civ3 / General forum.
He then whined here.

Don't forget that this is actually the Apolyton/Communist forum. Members have no rights. As described by Ming below, from a recent post.

quote: Originally posted by Ming Freedom of speech... HA HA HA HA. This isn't a country, it's an internet site. A PRIVATELY owned internet site. When you became a member of this site, you agreed to follow site rules. The owners can make ANY decisions they like. This isn't a Democracy... Oh... and if you start another thread on this same old topic, or whine about freedom of speech in any on topic gaming forum. You will be restricted from posting for a week. If you want to to whine, feel free to send an email or pm to the owners. Or, you can post a thread in the Apolyton Community Forum... where such complaints belong.

Yess Grrr, I'm a whiner, but you kiss ass. I'd rather be the whiner. As for freedom of speech, I never brought that up. I know very well there is no freedom of speech on private message boards.

Ming, I think he was just being cute about complaining about the patch number. It was a parody of whining.

I´ve never got a thread closed, and I can whine pretty good when I set my mind to it. But I´m not a stupid whiner, and that´s what your post was. Plain stupid. I´d say Ming´s spot on this one...
