In your last appeal, you claimed that you had no idea that referring to someone as a "switch-hitter" meant that they were gay. If your appeal goes unanswered, it probably has to do with the nature of your appeal.

Your appeal was funny, btw. We do laugh at them, but we generally don't bother responding to them if there isn't much to say.

No, there is not. We do have your fully "rap sheet", but there is no "black list". Individual moderators probably have people that they are getting sick of. Generally, this is more likely to happen if you tend to attack the moderators, show a complete disregard for the rules, or troll. If you do all three, you probably won't be well liked by the mods, and being human, that probably affects their judgment.

But no, you're not on any black list, so I can't remove you. If I were to offer suggestions to any wishing to have better luck with the mods on Cougarboard, I would say to avoid attacking the mods, and try to at least be respectful of the rules, even if you don't agree with all of them and occasionally break them. And don't be a troll.

trolling is against the rules.

what is trolling?

it must be one of those "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it" things.

You're referring to the Blue Balls poster you made, I assume. I had told people to post their suggestions in the Fan Ideas category, which I would monitor. I don't read the whole board (by far), but I have been trying to monitor that category. Since you put that post in that category, I happened to notice it at 11:00 at night, when I finally got a chance that day to browse the board.

Spare me the persecution complex. I'm not out to get you. I don't do searches for MikeWaters posts trying to find a reason to ban you.

Trolling is intentionally trying to stir the pot, incense people, etc. I'm sure you're well aware of what trolling is, being such a master of it.

I just don't get why I am being punished for impassioned discussion. Sure some people don't like it. But some people do.

Then make a real appeal, and maybe someone will respond to it.

I can't, because I'm too angry. See that's the trick. They arbitrarily can you, which makes you angry and unable to write an unimpassioned appeal, then they can you again. it's very sneaky and evil.

You have to ask him nicely. You see, Mike, he can deal with the trolls and the personal attacks and the stupidity. He doesn't want money and he doesn't want medals. What he does want is for you to stand there on that faggotty blue website and with your intellectual mouth extend him some @#$%ing courtesy! You gotta ask him nicely.

You don't like "impassioned discussion". You like to annoy the conservatives (Snipe, Tex, etc). They like to do the same to you. Neither side is interested in "impassioned discussion", just in annoying the other side, and trying to make them look stupid.
