Hi Josh,
As you know, I got banned for three warnings sent to me from AL:
1) Copyrights violation: Validity of this violation was disputed by Wayne as based on a lie by AL. Wayne has quit over this. He has personally told me so. I have a proof for this.
Despite your claim, which BTW is not exactly true......you posted the contents of an entire page/article in this instance and it was not the first time. You were warned about doing so prior and decided to ignore the rules and the prior earlier warnings. Posting the entirely of any article is a violation and always has been. This particular warning was also issued under Josh's directive. 2) Personal insult: I've indirectly called Donnie Mac Leod "animal killer." Donnie admits he traps and kills animals. Calling him an "animal killer" is descriptive of what Donnie does, therefore it is not an insult. It is like telling an executioner: "you execute people."
Your personal attacks have hardly been limited to what you are claiming here. Personal attacks are a violation of this forum. This is not a new rule and it is one you are warned about regularly. Stop with the name calling and this will no longer be an issue for you.3) Copyright violation: I quoted four short sentences from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I understand that moderators can't look for each article's copy right status but I thought that most of people knew that one is free to quote, reproduce and change the content of Wikipedia in any size and shape they want.

The posting rules of this forum are to post only 2 sentences...despite copyright status of other sites or articles. Personally, I feel that all these warnings had to do more with AL's personal vendetta and double standard than anything else. I am not going to get into this on public forum but if you wish I can discuss this privately with you.
I'm hoping you can do something about this, otherwise I'll have to conclude that I'm not welcomed here.

PS I am sending you this same massage also via PM just in case it gets deleted, as many of my other posts have been, with you knowing or not knowing, I wouldn't know.
