May I ask why I have been denied access to the thread running SP&L about the Mitchell affair, I was ejected from the one running in NP&E for a fallacious reason by Kinky, who mistakenly thought I insulted 'whoami' as I didn't and who at the time said he didn't see it that way either.

Now I'm denied access to the one in SP&L for nothing at all, no insults of any kind.

It's your site, do as you will, but denying access because someone is making valid points is not good form in my opinion.

A reasoned reply would be nice.

Of course you may ask.

An email was sent to you explaining that your access will be removed for a few days, during which time we'd like you to consider your posting style in that forum. You'll note that you are only out of one forum and the rest of PH remains available to you.

Your points may be valid, but we urge you to make that point and let the debate(s) move on. Currently the point is made repeatedly and often resorts to insults when people don't agree or when you think they don't understand, which in turn leads to people reporting your posts to us mods. It's these reports that meant we took a look at your posts and decided to give you a few days to calm it down.

I can't really make it clearer, but while I don't expect you to agree I do request that you take the decision gracefully and enjoy the rest of the site while access is denied.

Thank you.

May I ask if anyone else has been stopped from posting in that thread, I ask because I have been subject to rudeness but returned none.

I have been exceptionally careful not to insult or heat up threads since the over-reaction I received for the thread in NP&E.

Your site, your rules, your decisions.

My apologies for reviving this particular matter but I cannot find any E-mail from Pistonheads in my inbox and you mentioned you had sent one to me.

My old G-mail account is perhaps not allowing anything through from this forum, so would you mind awfully sending it again, but to my main one, I have changed the address in my profile if that is what you use to send emails.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Cheers

Thank you, I don't use it much at the moment and I do forget the password but not for my main one so I'll keep that up for a while and hope for the best.

Thanks again, I thought I might be losing it... full ga-ga mode on...
