I have not ignored that issue.

I disagree that you were treated unfairly and without proper discretion. In
fact, I haven't seen anyone write a post that says you were treated unfairly
except you. It appears that you are the only person who thinks that. The vast
majority of the people here who get a post deleted and get a message on the
forum to knock it off say "Oops, I made a mistake." You are one of the few that
claim that not only did you not make a mistake, but that you were also treated
unfairly over it. It was a stupid post you made. Learn to live with it that it
got yanked and you got told to knock it off.

You can feel free to not agree with my opinion of the situation if you wish, but
please do not continue to post sentences like the one above "I continue to be
amazed at why you cannot grasp such a simple concept". This type of sentence is
the EXACT reason you got in trouble in the first place.

Arrogance and belittlement of that nature is not appreciated here. Saying that
someone did not do what they claimed without proof is calling that person a
liar, regardless of whether you use those words. Saying that you cannot
understand why I cannot grasp a simple concept is calling me stupid, regardless
of whether you use those words.

You may think that you are being cute with such backhanded remarks, but the rest
of us have a totally different opinion.

If you disagree with someone, fine. Disagree. But do not attack their character.
The sentence above is yet another example of how you do that, maybe
unintentionally, maybe not. But I would recommend that you learn quickly to
avoid it in the future.

Is it so difficult to disagree with an opinion without attacking the person
making it? If so, then this forum is not for you (and others like you who do the
same thing).

I do not think I can put it any clearer than that.
