Unfairly banned from AH

BlimpGaz

I was banned from the after hours forum, apparently for "trolling" (as vague a term as can be). I started a series of threads which received a generally positive responce and sparked some interesting discussions. However, it seems one particular mod (whoopsadaisydoodles) simply did not like their content and decided she personally would not like to see me on the forum.

If this board has any decency whatsoever, this totally unfair ban should be lifted immediately.

Furthermore, here is the precise post I was banned for:

I was going to start another thread with this question, but I guess I can simply ask it here:

Why don't more females in developed nations sell their bodies for cash? The average prostitute ears €200 not per week, not even per day (which itself would be great enough) but per hour. And even more, it's 100% tax free. You'd think at least half the population of females in our country would take up this wonderful opportunity (at least those of appropriate age and attractiveness) but alas most

This was a fair point and a sincere question, albeit slightly inappropriate (although not even against the forum charter) so perhaps it did deserve a warning, but definitely not an instant ban. However, as I had already received a warning, it resulted in a second warning, which is a ban (I think). Now, let me get into the initial warning I received: It was for a perfectly fine and appropriate post and in NO WAY deserved ANY kind of a warning:

I don't understand something. Why do people need to have pets in their home, especially dogs? They are so much trouble, burden and responsibility, yet provide no practical value or benefit. So why do so many people seem to need them? Why are they so common? Why do so many people get them without thinking or weighing the pros and cons? As we all know, dogs are an icon of the typical family home. This is exemplified in TV shows too, where every ideal family has at least one family dog.

Here was the resulting PM conversation than ensued:

Don't troll and you'll be grand.

I don't not like what you said, because I have no feeling or opinion on trolling posts.

Dear BlimpGaz,

You have been warned for Trolling.

This means you are posting in an intentionally provocative fashion in order to gain a reaction from other members. This is disruptive and causes stress to other members.
We don't want that here.

That's a disgrace. I've done nothing wrong. Just because YOU don't like what I said, doesn't give you the right to silence me.

This mod clearly believes her title on this site begins with 'G' rather than 'm' (i.e God rather than mod). It was extremely unfair for me to be banned for a post simply because it happened to be read by a moderator in possession of feminist-tinted views, and hence was not in any position to be objective.

I have stated my position appropriately. I hope I will get the just and correct response.

Hi BlimpGaz,

One of the Rec CMods will look into this and get back to you.

Thanks.

Hi BlimpGaz,

The post you were banned for was needlessly antagonistic, sexist and encouraging illegal activity. Not only that, but you seem to have deleted part of the post you were banned for in your opening post here. Here's the bit you missed:

The ban stands. You may ask for an admin to review this decision if you wish.

Antagonistic? Is it really antagonistic to encourage a particular group to get absolutely minted for doing almost nothing?

Sexist? If the roles were reversed and I was prompting men to earn €200 an hour for engaging in a typically pleasurable act, would I be branded sexist for that? If not, then it is your remark that my post was sexist, that is sexist.

Encouraging illegal activity? Escorting is perfectly legal, and can never not be. How can having sex be legal, yet selling it in private not be? That's an infallible loophole right there.

I'd like the decision reviewed immediately. If justice is done, I'd also request that whoopsidasydoodles be removed as a moderator in this board.

Immediate review: ban is upheld.

Trolling AH isn't a good idea. Trolling the dispute resolution forum is a really bad idea.
