Have you been banned from MDD?

If so, why? That is if you actually know why.

There is a similar recent thread that might answer your question here

Thank you. I don't know how I missed that.

No, never. I was banned from a thread once for some idiotic reason. Oh, I remember now. It was for sarcasm.

I haven't visited for a long time now -- almost a year, I think.

I used the letter M. I thought it was more acceptable since the moderator had just they deleted the word Masturbation in a sentence where I was discussing a reason why young men were leaving the Church. They told me I should have used the phrase "breaking the Law of Chastity". That usage could have made it sound like these young men were committing serial adultery or perhaps even engaging in The Principle. The letter M would have been been accurate without the need for the vulgarity of this medical term as seen through the keen lense of moditorial hyper-righteousness and a full moon.

Another time I joked with Dr. Peterson that Mitt had perhaps seen his Dad march together with Dr. Martin Luther King using his "spiritual eyes". Dr. Peterson's moderating aficionados immediately banned me for my insolence. Ironically, Mitt later gave a version of my explanation for this inaccurate memory. Made sense, because his Dad never did buy into the prevailing racism of that time.

By that time, the FAIR forum had gone MAD and the moderators were just following the literal sense of that acronym.
