Well, if it was the first ban you had from After Hours, I might be more sympathethic.

You can make a valid point, and yet phrase it in such a way that it's likely to inflame others - that's what happened here.

People like you and your "missus" are giving everyone else on social welfare a bad name. Leeches on society... pfft.

Seems clear cut to me.
You quoted a post by RaverRo808, so it's plain to see that the abuse was directed towards him.
Personal abuse will get you a ban every time.

Well I don't stoop to other people level by insulting them. Not personally anyway. I thought the AH mods would have known this.

The post wasn't aimed directly at the poster, but to all those who scam the system. Like I have siad, it was taken up the wrong way.

Well that's exactly how it reads. In fact, there is no other way to read it.

That part of the post was aimed at all those scamming the social welfare system, leeches on society.

Don't want to bother ye too much about it.
