    The reason you were banned today was because you aren't supposed to be allowed to rejoin if someone had banned you previously. Aspen banned you once , with reason I'm sure. Those are the rules. In your post, you never mentioned it was years ago. That would have been helpful to know.

    We are just doing our jobs. If you want to hate us, thats your call. Our job is to enforce the rules. Thats what moderators do at ALL forums.

    You guys did the forum circuit a favor, I found out when you banned me that Sitepoint is not showing signatures of contributing members to guests!

    Thanks for banning me guys because Sitepoint's founders are going to have to get themselves out of this one, or I will doom them worldwide!

    You better make sure they get my message too!

    Just ask other forum owners what happens when they fight me!

    Next time just admit you were banned previously and we'll probably never know it is you.

    So does Sitepoint have something against the truth in your opinion

    Because I am sure they are going to have quite a problem with it in the next few days for sure!

    I find this whole thing very humorous. I knew the moment I saw your post at SPF that the ban hammer was going to come down and it had nothing to do with Chris. You're posts weren't going to go noticed by any staff member. If Symiee hadn't banned you probably all of the other staff members would have if someone else didn't beat you to it.

    In regards to your protest. I'm one of the members who resigned my team position in protest over what is going on over there, and I'm not posting over there. I believe; however, that your boycott and my resigning are going to have zero long term impact on SP's overall operations. In fact your boycott could actually bring more publicity and thus more traffic to SPF.

    I kind of doubt that, because I will destroy Sitepoint if they do not answer my charges, you don't really know who you are dealing with, do you???

    Legal has nothing to do with this, they are going to need a public relations firm by the time I am done with them!

    Get real and get a life dude!
