Attention everybody: I am hereby unbanned from MA&D.
Something happened in real life that allowed me to plead my case to a mod, they said they would check with DCP to see if it was OK, and a few days later I was miraculously reinstated. I don't know how much of the "situation" would be considered confidential, so I won't say anymore.
One interesting thing that happened upon my return was receiving a PM from a sympathetic mod who advised me that negative comments regarding FAIR, FARMS, and certain specific board participants were especially rankling to the powers-that-be.
Well, how interesting. I guess this explodes yet another myth: namely that DCP does exert a very powerful and direct influence over who gets to post. It seems that he has been lying to us all this time.

How nice! Still, you are on the books as a trouble-maker, so don't let your lawyer stray too far. All it takes is an ambiguously placed comma or an ironic question mark to trigger a moderator's watchful paranoia and ban you all over again. Keeping your account activated will take a full-time guardian. It may not be worth it to delay the inevitable.
