Hi Uri,

I don't know if you are talking about me. Perhaps not.

I want to know why I am beign provoked elsewhere.

Yesterday I had an email from Bruce that was an "official warning". Bruce said I
should post on-topics. Bruce copied the email warning to the other moderators.
Fair enough, I thought, if he felt this way.

So I posted only on-topic. I made three on-topic posts and did not do anything
else that Bruce could say was an attack.


I posted this in reply to Ratko Atomic's post:

I thought this post was entorely on-topic and fair thing to say.
Then I got a reply to my post from the anonymous moderator "KarinsDad".

This is his reply:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I posted this same thought a few months back. Of course, my post was not as
eloquent or well thought out as Ratko's. You must have missed it. I guess the
idea is not that appealing to you anymore since I never contribute anything
worthwhile.

I think that the last sentence is a provocation. Or a troll. It is designed to
get me to react.

Why does an anonymous moderator do this? He must have read the "warning" from
Bruce, and he must also have seen that I was making on-topic posts.

So why is he trying to stir things up?

It seems that there are some folk who don't like what I do, whatever I do, and
who are trying to get me banned. Or is there some other wierd motive?
