1: No one, including me, blamed McDaniels. However, as has been posted here, in this forum on the main page, apparently a lot of people have been questioning his conservative calling of plays in the first three quarters. I have not made one negative comment about him at all, and yet, my name seems to come up more often than not...
His play calling WAS somewhat suspect today, as many have noted. But, it came out fine in the end, and quite frankly I have given him many accolades as the season has progressed.
Once again, lies and incorrect information is being spread about me.
2: You want to know why I was banned? OK, here's the truth, not the lies that have been spread about me and the reason for it. In fact the truth was posted by Ian, and I have a copy of it.... but it seems that certain persons, including some mods, have spread lies about it for months now.
Here are the facts.
I was involved in discussion with several posters here who used the discussion to attempt to get me banned. It was personal for them. The discussion
got hot and heavy for some time, so I am emailed me and told me that he was limiting my posting to the political forum to cool off.
While there, someone else was posting in the main forum who was accused of being me, when it was not. It WAS someone I knew, personally, but it was not me...it was someone else.
ANd, there was a rule that if someone is banned, even partially, and he comes back in an assumed name, then he gets banned permanently.
And, that is EXACTLY what Ian posted as the reason, and what he emailed to me. IT WAS NOT FOR WHAT SOME PEOPLE, INCLUDING A COUPLE OF MODS, HAVE COMPLETELY LIED TO EVERYONE....That is why I was banned.
Recently, Ian realized that it was not me, and he has given me back posting privileges in two forums, and if I keep it clean, as I have done, even though I am still constantly attacked, I will have full privileges back soon.
My banning, after nearly 21,000 posts, and many years with Ian, was not for the reasons that have been told, as lies, about me.
Those are the facts. You can believe what you want.
And, after this thread is done, I wont speak of it again. I did not bring any of that crap up inthis thread, but a resp[onse was needed.
