bfg9000's Journal: Day 2 of My Ban...

Still banned from posting -- because of one bad joke in a sea of Upmodded comments? Second email sent to [e-mail], still no response.

But they're still bugging me to metamod every day, and my karma's never been better. Strange -- though I've never been banned before, so maybe this is normal procedure.

Looking at my history, I would like to assume it's the modded down joke for which I'm being "punished". The only things I've done recently were a joke moderated to +5, Funny and, more recently, a post explaining why OS X's closed Aqua layer allows for the *potential* of NSA backdoors, though I of course never postulate that there are any in there, just that the potential exists. Which it does. There have been many pieces of NSA-requested backdoored software, Lotus Notes (at the height of its popularity, natch) being the best example. The Chinese government also announced that they had found an NSA backdoor in Windows, which is one reason they have joined a few other Asian countries in building (and standardizing on) their own brand of Gnu/Linux.

One of these posts got me BANNED. Look at them and decide which one the editors thought was worthy of banning me for. What you find will certainly tell you something interesting.

In the meantime, I await a response from the editors -- which I believe is not forthcoming.
