    I was having a bit of banter in AH and made a joke to someone who I don't know or who I've ever seen that they had a fat ass. WTF? I'm personally devastated. Can this please be overturned, I'm sure if you ask the person it was directed at they will say they weren't offended in the slightest and knew it was a joke.

    Did you get a PM from the mod that banned you? If so, did you reply to it?

    I'm not really comfortable with javaboy looking into this, he's being quite unsympathetic and I feel his behaviour is quite threatening and intimidating. I explained my situation to him and how I had nothing to do this weekend but he wasn't willing to listen, I'd like another mod to look into this and reverse the ban.

    Sigh. Please post in full or report any PMs you feel are threatening/intimidating.

    What was your reply to that PM? Maybe javaboy could post it as I'm sure you're ok with it?

    I'm ok with it, but maybe intimidating and agressive were the wrong words, I think the word I was looking for was dismissive, but whatever, I don't care anymore. As a parting gift I'd like to declare jihad on all of you.

    You're dismissing this then, ok.
