jamest suspended from ratskep for 6 months

[jamest]

I have no idea where to post this thread, so feel free to move it to any relevant sub-forum. Since I'm generally associated with philosophy, I've posted it here.

I've been suspended from ratskep for 6 months for having a sock-puppet. My sock-puppet was 'madnomad'. It was created in the early summer of 2013, nearly two years ago. Until the last weekend, madnomad had never made a post. He was created for no other purpose than to READ the subforums inaccessible to non-members (during the fairly frequent suspensions I've had). Then I did a stupid thing. I won't bore you all with the details, but I banned myself the previous week pending an overview of my philosophy for interested members there (who had requested it). That meant voluntarily turning off my automatic log-in for jamest. However, I was still interested in reading the forum, so logged-in as 'madnomad'.

I was stupid enough, for a sufficient time at least, to forget that I did all of this. Several days later, I decided to produce an overview of my philosophy but forgot that I was now automatically logged in as 'madnomad': post 211, page 11, of the thread "Jamest: explain your philosophy/metaphysics" (philosophy forum - ratskep)*

The bottom line is that I was posting as jamest, but fucked-up (I forgot to log in as jamest). I just want someone from here to make clear to the members over there that I was never a sock-puppet in the dodgiest sense of being one. That is, I never gave thumbs-ups to myself (jamest) nor EVER posted anything other than the aforementioned mistaken post. Yes, I created a duplicate account, but I'm not a dick. Being a theist doesn't automatically qualify you as being a dick.

If there's a 'legal' way of a member here conveying this message to the members of ratskep, I'd be very grateful.

I also anticipate getting a fair amount of grief from creating this thread, but fuck it. I'll survive.

Nothing in the post to cause any grief, as far as I can see...

Mind you, I couldn't give a continental fuck either way, being fairly uninterested in the goings-on over there, but feel free to spend some time posting here, in the shining intellectual citadel that is Rationalia...

You cannot have read my OP, since the content of the post I was suspended for had nothing to do with my suspension.

I did (and I though your OP here was the "post that could cause grief"), but you missed my main point - I (and most members here) couldn't give a fuck whether you were suspended for a minor breech of their rules, or for threatening to commit public buggery on every Ratskep mod...

So, feel free to post anything, as long as you don't frighten the horses...

[laklak]

Fuck the horses.

Actually, we're OK if you fuck the horses, just don't scare them. Makes 'em shit all over the show.

One or two Ratskep mods are members here - some even visit occasionally! Feel free to PM them if you would like to plead your case. However, you can't realistically expect any of our members to pass messages to Ratskep for you - well done if you manage it!

Anyway. As long as you don't scare (or fuck) too many horses, or tip any cows (Brian Peacock has dibs on that activity), you can hang out here for a bit.

Just give me a minute and I'll create a new sock and pass your message on over there.

Talk about the blind leading the blind!

And we know how you both got to be blind!

Topic moved from where it was to The Wilder Web - cos that's where it belongs.

I think everybody here should go over there over the next few months and create hundreds or thousands of socks, and then send the passwords out on the internet to anyone who is interested so they can use them to post.

When did that happen?

[jamest]

You all appear to be high on something.

You say that like it's a bad thing

we're not high, we're zany, that's part of the charm of Ratz
