Anemone, so far as I can tell, it comes down to "we don't like you." Notice that the first person to comment in favour of my banning was Eric Brennan. He's previously posted in a very hostile manner towards me. Some months ago, I think it was in a Trouble Tickets thread, he posted something to the effect of "I'm sick of your shit, you don't break any rules but threads you're in turn flamey, if you keep it up you'll be permabanned."
I was a bit puzzled by this Landmine Warning - "We won't tell you what you're doing wrong, but set a foot wrong and you're blown" - but decided to lay low for a bit. Not long after that, Brennan stopped being a mod/admin (quit or fired I don't know, he seemed burned out, but then so does Cessna and he stays). But former mod/admins often have, or feel they have, some influence on affairs. Notice for example Topher's frequent posts warning others of their misdeeds.
I said long ago, that really rpg.net - and any other forum - has just one rule: don't fuck with the mods. All the rest is just tinsel on the tree. I didn't fuck with the mods, but someone there obviously disliked me.
If you post a lot, you'll come to their attention. Some, like Amado G., they'll like. Some, like me, they'll dislike. Likes and dislikes are not rational. Haven't you ever kicked someone out of your game group because you just plain didn't like him? Or kept someone who was a cocksmock, but you liked him?
That's life. They're only human.
I say again, aside from feeling sad at in some ways losing all the effort I put into posts there, one of my chief regrets is that RPGPundit will take this as more "evidence" of the Swine Conspiracy. :rolleyes:
