Hmm, I can't imagine that if you have been moderated several times |
| 16 |
that it might have some bearing on why you feel that Comrel/Devrel has |
| 17 |
tended to get in the way of your rejoining... |

In any case, as has been pointed out you could have appealed these |
| 20 |
issues and would likely have gotten a final answer one way or the |
| 21 |
other by now. But then we can't just complain about them forever. |

Indeed, most people who regularly get moderated tend to go away. I'm |
| 27 |
not sure that is entirely a bad thing. |

If people are willing to change they can of course stick around, and |
| 30 |
if abuse is a concern that is why we have appeals. |
