Randy... YOU HAD BETTER NOT!!!  You will get picked up again, remember what I told you the last time???

Hopefully, Randy was just kidding.

Yup. If someone wants to do screw up WP, then I am happy for them, but I wouldnt want anyone to do it at their own expense.

More Alex:

My main goal is to provide a place for people with Asperger's to communicate and grow as individuals. I hate moderating as it generally is a reactive thing that takes away some of the time I want to use to build new features that give everyone a better user experience.

I no longer have the time to follow every issue on the forums and have to trust the WP staff; even though they make mistakes. I see people banned and I don't always know why they're banned, but with 14,000 members, knowing about every single incident that occurs on the site is impossible. I don't ban anyone but obvious spammers myself, just because I always empathize with what it's like to be banned from somewhere. its a yucky feeling.

Anyway, I try to let the moderators make their own decisions.

I want to vouch for Alex not being that bad of a guy. And most of the bannings I've seen on WP stemmed from people not thinking about it as a support site, which is what it is. That being said, I have no idea what the hell you did to get banned.

no, i guess you really don't have any idea.

So, care to explain? Or would you just prefer to shut your trap? Either way, either way...

Really? Interesting. I tried to give him
every fucking benefit of the doubt,
hoping that he had changed from what
those here had experienced of him.

I've seen evidence of outright lies and manipulations
on his part. And I'm rather inclined to believe that
HE hasn't changed. My only hope was that the
direction that he wanted the site to be managed
in was going to remain what he stated when I first
joined. It's obvious that this is simply not the case.

People say this all the time, always vaguely and without giving examples. I'd bet if you gave me examples of his being "manipulative" I'd be able to give you examples of someone misusing an autism support site. Not to suck his cock, or anything. There's a reason I don't post there, and that reason is that it's stupid to expect free speech.

[Calandale]

I'll PM you. I don't want all of this in the
open.

[richard]

its not a thing, chicken wing.

ive been banned off of sites, i know it hurts. a bullshit reason you were banned. i agree!

[willow]

Well, finally managed it. 
Doubt it will last, but we'll see.

[Calandale]

Thanks Richard, but don't let my getting banned
harm you. There are still plenty of good things about
the site, even with me gone. 

will wonders never cease....

I thought I was pretty close to immune.

[Kosmonaut]

I will be posting on there until you get unbanned.

Still reading this bloody thread- he might not have spoken to anyone yet but he's still looking round the place.
