Ok, got banned from the board a few hours ago- after making a total of 3 posts here. Ok- My intro post, it was offtopic and overboard. I apologised for that. I was fine with it being deleted. Then I went and made a second post in the pub explaining my position, and I got no complaints, people were cool with it.
So I got and post something on the spirituality forums, something that I would have liked to see some discussion over, and that gets deleted by an admin as well.
So I pm'ed the admin, asking what's the deal? and I tried to be extremely nice and understanding about it.
He accuses me of being a "puppet", and I ask him what makes him think that, because I want to get this cleared up.
No response. Today I get an email saying my account is banned. With no proof of anything other then suspicion, and no real explanation as to how they arrived at this suspicion anyway.
So, here, THIS is a puppet account, which I will admit to right now. And oh, oh how unfairly I think I've been treated, just because I acted a little zany on my first post.
Oh, tell me, if I had offended anyone personally, just how the hell did I do it? I never attacked a single person here, I'm not a fucking puppet, I am someone who comes from a alterno-religious society of free thinkers, and I come only to discuss the nature of psychedelics, and to talk on about trying to figure out what this whole existence thing is, and I do it by being slightly absurd, slightly manic, but none-serious about what I know.
The REASON why I choose to come here at all- is because the movement where I belong to, we are trying to find SMART and INTELLIGENT people who have a 6th sense of humour, because that's who we want- we're not out to convert the peon masses over to our religion so we can take their money and tell them how to live their lives.
Fuck that. We want free thinking people who have some intelligent thought going on who are not under the authority of the authorities, who can see the funny side of life and want to associate with those who can also see what a strange and wonderful and confusing existence that we inhabit.
The discordians may or may not want you, that's right! We're PICKY. So, I'm sorry for assuming that people here have a sense of humour, and are intelligent and free thinking individuals who want to have a good time and want to associate with people who do actually think the same things and don't just eat up bullshit dogma from the conspiracy.
I was obviously mistaken.
Now, I won't trouble you any of you again with THIS account, but if the admin here who banned me suddenly gets a moment of zen clarity about my first account and lets me back in, I shall happily return without grudge, as I would like to associate with the denizens of this society, as I'm sure there are many good people here, and those who were offended by me in the first place, I'm sure it's just a big misunderstanding on your part and I hold nothing against it, cus hey, I was acting really freaky when I first came, I can't blame you for thinking that I'm really *just* another nutter.
Yeah, I'm a nutter, but so would many of you be, and I'm so much more then that and I have a lot of things I can contribute meaningfully to this society, if you just give me a chance.
If any of you don't like the idea that I actually have a religion that's different from your own- that's cool. Discordian's accept all religions as valid as their own, and I won't mention much of it where it isn't appropriate.
I *would* like to discuss my beliefs though in the appropriate sub-forums with anyone who IS interested, or anyone that wants to challenge it, I don't care. I mean, that IS what those sub-forums are for right? Discussing your beliefs in a reasonable manner? (well, the idea anyway?)
Anyway, if the admin(s) still decides after this that I'm just another annoyance and won't un-ban me, so be it, I'll be gone, I'll leave you all alone, and find some other place where people actually do have an open mind and a sense of humour.
As you can see clearly though, banning my account doesn't in the slightest stop me from actually being able to post here, as clever as they think they are by i.p blocking me. But I'm not here to harass or troll, I actually want to *get along* with you all, so there's no point in me even bothering to come here if you're not going to play nice.
I'll leave it at this, as it's gotten rather long winded already and I'm sure it's getting to a point where I'm just repeating myself.
Love, Light + Chaos.
