Word to the wise. "Trolling" and "Spam" are completely subjective to the powers that be at this site.
Make note that although I was suspended by Tsherkin for trolling, he does not ride a horse of anykind.
Apparently I have received a grand total of four warnings. I know this now because I emailed the site about my suspension.
They claimed that my suspension was warranted if not overdue.
Who knew???
My first warning was right after I joined and got into it with a Mod. I think I asked him if he was the thought police or something like that? Then I sent him a cartoon of Big Brother on the john. He didn't find it nearly as funny as I did. I soon came to realize that I couldn't do or say "anything" I wanted and I needed to learn restraint.
My second warning came when OSAGE was in the Seattle forum giving us his worldly opinions on Oklahoma and how they deserve the Sonics and Clay Bennett is the best owner ever.
I called OSAGE a name in one post and then in another post I simply posted a picture of a young Robert Swift and a certain convicted terrorist who happens to have ties to Oklahoma, (the two look kind of a like in the pictures) and all I said was,
"Don't say I didn't warn you".
Poor taste? Sure, you bet.
But apparently my warning was for calling the OSAGE fellow a name (which I did) and comparing him to the convicted terrorist (which I did not).
I compared Robert Swift to the convicted terrorist.
I know if a cop,
writes up the speeding ticket wrong the driver gets off the hook. Apparently that doesn't work in RealGm.
I still got stuck with the ticket.
Lastly my third warning, was for "Spam". Apparently they considered it spam when I posted a similar version of this thread in all the playoffs teams from last years forum. I figured they don't have a lottery pick why not help out the Sonics. To me this was simply an "earnest request", to the power that be this is considered spam. And they will not remove this warning from my record (which I have asked them to do).

By the way all of you can now thank me for Durant. We may not have received the #1 pick but we got the #2 pick so it almost worked to perfection yet I wanted Durant more than Oden anyway. So essentially it did work to perfection.
Now I'd love to thank all of you for making my short trip of mouse arrest,
an enjoyable one.
It warmed my heart to see a thread with my name on it locked.
Practically brought a tear to me eye.
Now I have to say I really don't plan on getting banned but I'm not going to change the way I post either.
So I don't really know how long I'll be around, but if and when it happens I plan on going out in flames.
