That may be true. In fact I suspect it is likely in this case because I doubt that you seriously thought you'd regain posting privileges on MA&D. That said, let me tell you something my mother taught me. My mother's father--my grandfather--was apparently wont to say hurtful things to my mother. Whenever she was hurt from it he would tell her that it was just a joke.
Now, thanks to that, I try to be careful not to use humor to excuse myself from hurting someone even if I truly meant a comment as a joke. Recently I hurt my brother that way, but I didn't dare use the humor excuse even though it was true.
Scratch, your blog may be humorous to you and me, but I'm getting the feeling that many find it malicious. Because of that I am having second thoughts about it. I'm not asking you to take it down, but I hope you'll consider how your joke is hurting other people. I certainly hope that hurting others wasn't the intent (or one of the intentions) of your blog.
I have considered this ABman. I offered to Shades to completely remove the blog during the whole Mr. Itchy debacle. I also have a standing offer to remove any portion of it which people are upset over. As a result, I made revisions to the dossiers of Pahoran (of all people!) and Dadof7. I later had to restore some of the material in Dadof7's dossier, because it turns out that he was the moderator who unfairly banned me. If he'd like to apologize for his behavior, I will remove his entire dossier. That is a promise that has been standing for several months now.

So it seems that the blog exists at least in part for the purpose of ridicule or revenge. Otherwise why put Dadof7's stuff back up for banning you. Sound like revenge to me and not good-natured entertainment.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy. eritis sicut dii I support NCMO

Yes, in part it does. But only a very small part. It sort of like how only a very small part of DCP's posts are "for the purpose of ridicule or revenge."

It's not just the "banning." It is the unfairness behind the banning. If you want to explain to me why I should shrug my shoulders and say, "Oh, well", I am all ears. My offer still stands to DaddyMO/Dadof7---who, in addition to the banning, also shunned me after he had queued me.

I'll spell it out for you Scratch. Whether or not Dadof7 is justified or unjustified in thinking you're a liar, people generally don't like to hang around those they perceive as liars.

Does that account for the high attrition rate of Joseph Smith's followers from 1830-1844.
