More details about the proposals they've now implemented

Sorry again for any embarressment I may have caused.

-he posted something about everyone being politically correct pussies and he was gonna go burn some jews (from his PC) and told me about it on msn.
-i kinda felt bad for introducing a troll and making the mods do some work so i sent a PM to the first mod i saw (RPerry) apologising for it.
-the reply said i'd get banned if i didn't cut out the trolling, then bob posted again. i got a message saying i'd be banned
-i said it wasn't me, then was told we shared an IP until i started using a proxy
-bob was banned
a month passed
-suddenly, i'm banned
One can see your POV.
One can also see the mods POV.
Crossed wires happen. Surely it's all sorted now. Including a chap apologizing for t'misunderstanding
EDIT - Oh you wee rodding scamp.

You were never banned, it's simply that your proxy (the IP we see) has gone back to being the one that was blocked. That's why I said I thought that IKE had inadvertently blocked an earlier proxy, otherwise you would have been blocked immediately.
Edit: bastard. :P

That is appreciated.
Even tho' it's nothing to do with me, it's still appreciated.
