Apologies to the good people who post here. However, on September 19, 2018, when trying to log on, I received the following message:You have been banned for the following reason: rule violation and failure to follow moderator instructions
Date the ban will be lifted: 10-03-2018, 08:00 AM
This was all. No explanation of what rules were violated, no specification of what was written that violated rules, and no clue as to which thread(s) this alleged violation took place. Since this was one of the last threads I posted in, prior to being banned, I am left to speculate. My conclusion is that there are some in the administration with a sinister agenda, and that being against illegal aliens is just a cover for that agenda.
This "explanation" for the ban is about as cowardly as Christine Blasey Ford's accusation against Judge Kavanaugh, lacking a date, place, and other supporting data. Or worse, as the conviction and punishment was done without identifying the crime.
Since I was banned without an explanation, I could not log on until now. So I was unable to see your explanation, much less respond to it.

AND WHERE DID I BRING RACE INTO THE DISCUSSION? "Lynching" is not about race, although racism was the excuse often for lynchings.
Rule #1:
Quote:
1. Language & hatred: No obscene language or racially derogatory comments are allowed. This includes symbols that stand for profanity used to replace letters in profane words. (!&^#*#)
Um, I see many posters replacing one letter in a four-letter word to convey the word without the software blocking the word. Yet the moderators don't see fit to enforce that rule on them. I have never used such words. I have also never used racially derogatory words!

NO RACISM AND NO RACE BAITING
RACE BAITING= "ACCUSING OTHERS OF BEING RACIST without evidence IN AN EFFORT TO SILENCE OR LOWER THE TONE OF THE DEBATE"
WHERE HAVE I ACCUSED OTHERS OF BEING RACIST?

I also told you to drop it.
REALLY? I have searched and found no such warning.
The rules here are apparently subjective, with different rules for those liked by the administration, rather than objective where the same rules apply to all.
So not knowing the true agenda behind this forum, I guess I don't choose to be associated with it. I did enjoy some of the conversations.
