I don’t know about the internal machinations of this site. I was banned for a year, then unbanned without ceremony. I guess the worm has turned around here regarding the criminal invasion.
Well, you were worked up into a righteous fit of anger and nobody seemed to understand why. I regarded your banning as a sign that FR was falling into the PC trap and purging the righteously indignant as racists, zenophobes,
nativists or whatever they’re calling us this week. The problem remains, but the spanking that the Senate got may send them looking for real answers...even Gordon Smith had to pull his head out of his nether regions. At any rate, I regard your return as good news.
The same exact 'one year ban, automatic reinstatement' happened to me more than a year ago. - I'd bet the system is programmed that way.
