    Indefinately, oscarbravo pm'd me with the news.

    When I asked oscar to provide evidence of the alleged breach of etiquette, I was promptly told to 'get lost'.

    Not the behaviour expected from regular posters, nevermind mods.

    Conspiracy Theories have their own forum.

    You started a thread with the exact same content that you posted to a thread in hte CT forum...as I pointed out in the Gi thread where you got banned.

    So which would you like to take as your defence - that its not a CT (and you had no business posting it in the CT forum), or that it is a CT (and you had no business posting it in the GI forum).

    I wasent a conspiracy theory I posted in GI.

    All fact based my friend, however I felt still relevant to a thread in progress in CT, so I posed a quick link for those who might be interested

    Copying and not pasting unformatted. Even worse. Burn the witch!

    The fact that you were throwing insults around probably didn't help either.

    Yes, it is....just as the 'chemtrails' topic you started there previously was.

    Riight. Thats why both chemtrails and weather-control have been topics in the CT forum long before you felt the need to bring them to the GI forum. Its because they're established fact. Why didn't I realise that!

    Don't forget that the article you linked to in the ban-resulting thread admits that there's no evidence but that the theory is a hot topic amongst Conspiracy Theorists.

    Just because you believe it doesn't mean its not a CT.

    What I posted in GI WASEN'T a conspiracy theory. All fact based, dont go twisting this into something it is not. This is none of your business anyway, merely a thread to highlight my discontent to other mods.

    Well basicaly you want to get a load of "Fight da Powah" users to jump in and defend you while being attacked by "mods".

    Seriously if you want it looked into then do it right.

    The mods are fine, only have trouble with oscarbravo. Not to many 'fight da powah' users on these boards to be honest, and im not one of them either.

    If the things you post about are not conspiracy theories, why do you post about them in Conspiracy Theories?

    Ban won't be lifted.

    You're offering feedback. So am I. I have just as much right as you do to do so.

    If you want somewhere where you can make your case without anyone else's input then do as 6th suggested and take it to Helpdesk.

    Its not my fault if you don't understand how the Feedback forum works.

    My feedback is that in my opinion your banning was well deserved because in my opinion you were spouting Conspiracy Theories in the Green Issues forum, and being abusive towards other posters.

    You're free to disagree, and I'm not interested in arguing the point here - thats not what the forum is for....but I'll thank you to stop telling me my business, just as I thanked you in another thread to stop telling me what to do there as well.

    All im asking for is evidence I posted a conspiracy theory in GI. I replied to your pm informing me of the ban and I asked for this, you told me to 'get lost'.

    Im still seeking this evidence.

    Wrongly banned in my opinoin and your behaviour/language is unacceptable.

    It's funny how important evidence is when it suits you.

    Oh, and the irony of you talking about other people's "worthless comments" is delicious.

    Given that oscarbravo has already stated that the ban is sticking, I don't see what good that would do tbh.

    Part of his issues seems to be with how he was treated. While I would only presume that oscarbravo's behavior was fine its not up to me to decide.

    Zippy, you have started three threads in green issues all dealing with the conspiracy theory crap. I'm going to be honest and say that even taking it to the help desk, I can't see your ban being lifted until you can learn that green issues isn't the place for conspiracy theories, if at all.


    The fact of the matter is you are ruining discussion on the green issues forum because you are posting your conspiracy theories there, where they do not belong.
