First of all I take offense at the presumption that I had something to 
do with you getting kicked off the list, I do not have that power, I do 
not want that power and if I had it I had it you wouldn't be back 
ranting about which is absolute proof that i had nothing to do with it.  
In terms of the admin actions, you would not be banned for speaking your 
mind about the administrative decisions you would be and I presume have 
been banned for your personal attacks against other users, personal 
attacks are the only thing that you seem to have done that would justify 
you getting banned and if you get banned for anything less than 
blatently violating the rules I will be the first one to advocate that 
you be unbanned and that the admin involved re-read the rules.  So do 
not for one F*cking second that you know me, you don't know me and if 
you keep ranting like this you are proving that you don't know any of 
us. So do us all a favor and leave, begone, and never write to this 
message list again.  Oh and anonymity has it's usages but you are using 
it to conceal your own cowardice, to hide behind your anonymity for the 
sole purpose of making personal attacks against users is nothing sort of 
being an absolute coward, I dare you to reaveal yourself for the person 
you really are to and stop hiding behind false facades... I will await 
that time.
