Chrono,
Darby-is it my fault that everyone is "uptight"?
Like it or not, yes - according to the TOS Rules at TTI it is your fault. You've posted materials that people find offensive and that is precisely what the TOS Rule says that you cannot do.
It would seem that you have three choices:
1. You could change - we both know that you're doing what you do for no other reason than to annoy people. You're not adding any intelligent conversation.
2. You could ask Roel to see if Raul will change the TOS Rule so that you or anyone else can annoy and offend at will.
3. You could find a BBS where the rules fit the personality.
You should also probably keep in mind that you do not enjoy a freedom of speech here. Your 1st Amendment right to free speech defines the relationship between you and your governmemt. It does not extend to the relationship between you and and a private club or private community.
(Once you get through your Senior HS year - next year - you'll have that part of your academic background complete. Most Juniors make that mistake - that is - the mistake that freedom of speech extends to all areas of one's life. So to that extent we can understand the misapprehension.)
You may or may not know but I've been a moderator on other boards for many years. Based on your actions here I would have run you off quite some time ago. This is a Community and moderators generally do respect the Community will if it is in step with the general rules and TOS rules of the board. I would have done it, not batted an eye and not looked back.
You can ask around - I have a couple of friends here (and I mean that sincerely) that I have bounced off of boards more than once. I can maintain an amicable attitude even though I'm saying "Adios."
